So you’re planning a holiday but not sure where to visit or what to do in Scotland on your trip? We’ve created a collection of articles to guide you through some unmissable experiences on offer to visitors to Scotland. Our mission at Big Sky Campers is not just to hire you a campervan, but to help you to get the most out of your holiday – with ideas of places to visit and things to do all over Scotland. We’ve tried to come up with ideas for experiences that aren’t in all the usual guides and suggested some less well known places to visit.

Cool Things to Do Around Scotland
In this series of guides we suggest unusual, interesting and fun experiences around Scotland. Each guide focuses on a different part of Scotland from suggestions for cool things to do within a couple of hours drive from Edinburgh, to the best places to visit at the very north of Scotland. We have found some special things to do off the beaten track in some of the best known destinations in Scotland such as Glencoe, Loch Lomond and the Isle of Skye. There are also guides to experiences not to miss along the west and east coasts of Scotland.
