2 Weeks Campervan Itinerary For Scotland: The Ultimate Scottish Adventure

Scotland - the land of iconic views, food, and a FANTASTIC campervanning destination. We campervanned here for two weeks with this itinerary and had such an amazing experience. This guide covers 14 days and a whole lot of campervanning - get ready for a roadtrip! It covers the following destinations: - Glencoe - Isle of Skye - NC500 - The Cairngorms - Aberdeen - Edinburgh - Glasgow & MANY destinations and things to do in between these major stops. For some places it includes restaurants (but not all, as it's a campervanning itinerary so you'll likely be cooking most of your meals), lots of adventure (hikes, views, and activities), where to stay (parking your campervan is SO easy in Scotland we've included where to look for camping spots and also included campervan sites to hook up to for each spot), and inside intel on what you should know before you visit. This itinerary is for the adventurous and people who want to get BUSY during their time here to see as much as possible. It includes quite a bit of driving and lots of activities. Whilst this itinerary is jam-packed, you can easily choose what you want from each day to give you more downtime, and spread some of the activities over multiple days to cut down on your driving time - it's very easily manipulated to suit your needs.

Discovering Aberdeen: Scotland’s Granite City Highlights

Aberdeen, fondly dubbed the Granite City, is steeped in history, culture, and stunning natural beauty. Nestled on Scotland’s northeast coast, it charms visitors with its unique blend of urban sophistication and rural tranquility. Here’s a concise guide to the top areas to explore on your Aberdeen adventure.

Old Aberdeen

Stepping into Old Aberdeen is like stepping back in time. Rich in history, this area is home to King's College, one of the UK's oldest universities, and St. Machar's Cathedral, a gem of medieval architecture. Walk along the cobbled streets and take in the quaint buildings and serene gardens that make you feel like you’ve entered a different era. Don’t miss Seaton Park, a sprawling green sanctuary perfect for leisurely strolls and picturesque picnics.

Aberdeen Beach

Aberdeen Beach isn’t just a beach; it’s a beloved local attraction that offers something for everyone. The expansive sandy shore is ideal for a refreshing walk or an invigorating dip in the North Sea. Thrill-seekers can catch waves surfing, while families will love the beachfront amenities, including cafes, ice cream parlors, and an amusement park with fun-filled rides.
