This is my neck of the woods Claire, but have no idea about camp sites but I will try to find out for you and let you know

There's Fordell Firs near Inverkeithing. I think people can camp there anyway.... Scouts and schools do all their camping stuff there. Just a short hop across the Forth on the train to Edinburger.

Another nice site is Witches Craig, at the foot of the Wallace Monument in Stirling. Not particularly handy for Edinburgh, but not a million miles away either.

Around Edinburgh itself, I'm not sure..... there are probably campsites in/around the Pentlands just South of Edinburgh.... maybe around the Roslin/Hillend areas???

Enjoy your trip to Auld Reekie

There is a nice campsite just outside Musselburgh. I just looked it up and it's called Drum Mohr Caravan Park.

Friends of mine stayed there before and it is within a walled garden and was really nice.

Musselburgh has a good bus link to Edinburgh city and is also fairly close to lots of beaches.

I need to step away from LF :lol: I woke up during the night as I remembered about another caravan/camping place. I'm not entirely sure where this is, but I think I've seen signs for it on the Southbound Edinburgh Bypass.... Mortonhall

Hi

Are you looking for somewhere to pitch a tent or park a caravan, or do you want a static caravan?

If you want a static caravan then Seton Sands in East Lothian, approx 12miles east of Edinburgh is a suggestion. It is dog friendly and is right next to a beach that is labrador heaven. You can get a bus into the centre of Edinburgh from the site. I live 5 minutes from it but that's probably not a selling point

If your under canvas or are dragging a shed then Mortonhall is a good shout. I think it is dog friendly.


Hope you find something and enjoy Edinburgh

Hi Clare

When we went to Scotland a few years ago and we stoped in a caravan here, but they do do camping as well

Its a brilliant place for the dogs beach just across the quiet road and Edinbourgh about 15 min away

Infact thisis where Brodie learned to swim now there is no stopping him.

the caravan club site on marine drive is great. bus stop just outside and it is next to the beach and a long promenade.

Eyemouth is lovely but prob about 50ml from Edinburgh

I was going to suggest Mortonhall as Mo did too Claire, not too far from the centre of Edinburgh with easy bus links

I personally would stay a bit further out, but if you have the motorhome you could move from site to site easier, Fife is lovely and you should not miss out on seeing it

Bring your raincoat it has not stopped raining for days here :roll: :roll: But it has just stopped tonight
