Ardgay Glamping

Dawn mist rolls off the Kyle of Sutherland as curlews call across this Highland site, their haunting cries mingling with the rush of nearby waters. Sunlight filters through Scots pines, casting dappled shadows over pitches that look toward the dramatic peaks of the northern Highlands.

This straightforward campsite welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to the wilds of Sutherland, where eagles soar above ancient forests and red deer roam the glens. It's perfectly placed for exploring the North Coast 500 route, with Dornoch's golden beaches and the whisky distilleries of the east coast within reach. Hillwalkers will find countless trails threading through this raw, magnificent landscape.

Facilities are kept simple with toilets and showers provided, while the campfire policy can be confirmed when you arrive—worth asking if you fancy an evening beneath star-filled Highland skies. The atmosphere is peaceful and unpretentious, attracting those who want to experience Scotland's wilderness without fanfare, just the essentials and that extraordinary northern light.
