- Start of a series of videos Seeing Scotland In A Motorhome. This time I'm travelling north in my Rollerteam 746 from Largs to Inverkip showing you the places where you can stop in a large-ish motorhome, and some of the things you can do there.

You doing more videos,very informative and enjoyable
Hi ya,
I’m New to your channel but old to the world of Motorhomeing as I have been a full time Livaboard in my current Motorhome for 6 years now, Just wanted to say FANTASTIC video, BRILLIANT information, Professional quality presentation I have been to Scotland many times, Thank for the memories & can’t wait for the next video already, Glad I came across your channel & of course I have subscribed.
Keep up the good work,
Paul
Hi Paul, thank you for such a nice comment. :) I'm interested in going full time, for a while at least once I've finished work. What size motorhome do you have? Do you have any permanent base at all?
If ever you get the chance to do it, Just give it a try, I’ve never lived in a house at all in my entire life, I was on various Boats for over 20 years, then on my Motorhome for the last 6, I don’t see why you want to wait until you Finnish work in order to give it a try.
No I haven’t got a permanent base or Storage else where, My Motorhome is 30ft from Bumper to Bumper, Taken me Wide n Far all over the UK & Ireland & suits me rather well.
Enjoy & Be Safe Matey
Unfortunately I have to work for the next few years to pay for the motorhome! :D
Oh that’s a bummer Matey, lol lol But we all do what we need too in order to get by don’t we. I really like the look of your Motorhome I’m sure it’s going to be a good one for you. I hope to catch you on the road sometime so we can meet up & chat.
Be safe out there.
Thanks for your great videos, gave me some great ideas for a summer scotland road trip, covid free pending
Really enjoying this, as some of it we did a couple of years ago. Looking forward to more!!
I'm looking forward to making more! Thanks for watching. Are you planning to come back to Scotland?
@@CamperCameraGo Would love to, but it's a bit of a trek as we live in Cornwall!
Not exactly just round the corner then!
@@CamperCameraGo Sadly, not, and Cornwall is a nightmare in summer!
Great video Andy.
Brilliant videos Andy I was brought up in this area brings back lots of memories its A lovely part of the world looking forward to your next video.
I really enjoyed your video. As an American who enjoys travel, it's always fun to see new places and to watch your journey.
Hi Terry I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have you ever been to Scotland before?
@@CamperCameraGo Hi Andy,
I've never been to Scotland. Back in the mid-90's I spent about three weeks in London for job training. Maybe I'll make to Scotland in the future. I found your channel from a Lensbaby newsletter. I look forward to seeing more from you.
@@terryolsen4244 Ahhhh. I do love shooting with my Lensbabies :)
Hi Andy enjoyed your video lookforward to seeing more mate take care.
Thanks John :)
Really enjoyed your videos first class. I was surprised though that you mentioned cumbrae and Bute as two islands worth visiting, and yet made hardly any mention of arran. We take our Motorhome over there three or four times a year, and we love Arran.
Thanks William. I didn't mention Arran as I only passed by the terminals for the other 2 islands. I will be covering Arran in a future video though. Where are your favourite spots on the island?
There are many spots to wild camp on Arran, and there are even two free chemical waste points at whiting bay and blackwaterfoot. The forestry car park at north Sannox is a great location, then there’s Lochranza, pirnmill, various places on the west coast, kildonnan, Lamlash, and my favourite the end of the coastal road through marganaheglish. There is a lovely viewpoint between Lamlash and Brodick.There are good spots in Brodick, but we prefer to get away to the quieter parts of the island. Look forward to your video, if I can be of any help don’t hesitate to ask.
Congratulations on your first video, I know the area well and as a sailor I loved the little video of the sailors battling the wind and surf to get away, quite professionally in quite a tippy boat.
Looking forward to the rest, these video's will be great for visiting tourists from England, Ireland and beyond, as let's face it we have THE best small country for holidaying in motorhome.
We should always encourage the tourists to stop, eat out and spend money in the local communities they pass through, always try to engage positively with the locals, ask for directions, good places to go as the number of owned and rental vans increase, we don't wan't the public and councils to have a negative view on MH's and start putting up stupid signs and height barriers.
I couldn't agree more. There's always going to be some who act so selfishly that they spoil it for others. I think it's important to try to show that we are a responsible group of people in the main who are looking to have fun and enjoy the areas we visit - and that means spending money locally and not messing up the patch. Thanks for watching :)
Great scenery there. The castle on top of the hill is really cool. Looks like a great place to travel and explore.
If you like castles you'll love Scotland. Are you planning to visit?
Not anytime soon. We are going to travel the US for a few years. We might do some overseas traveling a few years from now.
@@WaywardWaggs I'm planning to do it the opposite way round!
😊 Happy travels!
@@WaywardWaggs ...and you too! :)
really enjoyed your video. Had to keep putting my foot on the brakes on some of those bends though. Quite informative . Thanks
Thanks Dave. That's brilliant :) and all these people who complain about motorhomes being so slow!!!
Oh my goodness- can't believe those idiots in the dinghy- what were they thinking?!?!? Gorgeous parking spot.
Certainly not my idea of fun! :)
Great video. I've never been to Scotland but it is somewhere I want to see. I bought a 6m motorhome 2 years ago now and I am enjoying it. I like all the lay-bys suitable for overnight parking and also car parks along your route, some beautiful scenery. I will be following your journey, I am really enjoying it and it is something I think I would like to do.
Thank you Robert. :) It's great to get feedback. What part of the country is your local area?
I live in the West Midlands, and in the 2 years since having motor home i have mainly traveled in Wales and the south west of England.
@@robertcrouch6429 I'm from Walsall originally, but I've lived in Scotland for more than 20 years now. I bought the motorhome from a dealer near Cannock as it was handy for me to stay with my parents when I went down to pick it up.
We have just purchased a rather long motorhome (to me anyway) and it's great to see your videos showing how it's not overly difficult to drive around scotland, me and the family are looking to do scotland in August so thanks for the vids, they're certainly giving me some good advice.
@@adventuresofatiger5644 Thank you for that :) To be fair there are plenty of single track roads, and narrower 2 lane roads too, but as long as you take care it's fine. I'd been dreading driving up the side of Loch Lomond after what I'd read about it, but it's really not as bad as some people make out. What parts of Scotland will you be visiting?
Yes please! I'd love to see more content like this. I'm heading up that way in June in my Burstner. So, did you kip at Inverkip, despite the no kipping signs?
Thanks David. I plan to upload a video every Wednesday, but that might have to slip sometimes due to work & family, but I'll do my best. :) Do you have a route in mind yet?
@@CamperCameraGo We will be driving up from Mid Wales for 3 weeks. My wife is not very mobile, so walking and climbing are out of the question. However we were given Scottish NT membership for Xmas, so a good portion of the trip would be south of Loch Lomond and over to Edinburgh looking at the gardens etc. We are not adverse to a bit of wild camping, however.
Did you end up kipping in Inverkip, despite the no kipping signs?
@@davidmcclean8872 There's lots of places you can enjoy great scenery and things to do without having to walk far. I didn't kip in Inverkip this time, but I used to live there if that counts :)
Meant to add, not sure if this helps or not ..

You parked in the wrong car park for a motorhome. You turned into the right, but you should have turned left after coming over the bridge as that is where motorhomes can stay overnight at the Largs haven.
What kind of price do they charge Andy for going on these small ferry's to other parts of Scotland.
Hi Yoko. It depends on the route and the size of your van. For the ferry from Wemyss Bay to Bute for example a van the size of mine is £35 return pluse £6.50 per adult passenger (including driver).
The ferry from Largs to Cumbrae is a much shorter trip and is just under £20 for the van return and £3.50 per adult.
A long crossing like Oban to Barra is just over £200 for the van and £29.50 per adult return. www.calmac.co.uk for details
There are some other routes that are served by other operators, but Calmac is the biggest operator in Scotland.
Getting MH's on ferries, Comrie ferry up before Fort Willam, only one where I had a rear end scrape, other locals had stories of their cars scraping. As an ex-seafarevwith ferry experience, this should not happen. If you are in doubt stop and ask them to adjust the ramp. Don't be pressurised by the crew wanting an easy life, you have a major investment to protect getting on and off ferries.
That's a great bit of advice thank you :)
Comrie ferry? I think you meant Corran ferry which takes you across Loch Linnhe before Fort William going north.
My local area so have been in all those spots at some point, not with the Moho though - more as a daft boy getting up to daft boy things with daft girls 😜
