Hi everyone , I am planning on doing 5 nights camping in Scotland, and have always wanted to visit the famous whiskey trail, and other places like Inverness,Aviemore and Elgin to name a few. Can anyone recommend any sites within this area? Not worried about travelling a hour or so each way.
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
The C&CC's speyside site (couple of miles from Craigellachie) is handy for several distilleries and also for the Cooperage Centre (on Dufftown road out of Craigellachie)

Hi. Will be camping
Granton is a lovely spot and more convenient for shopping and getting to Aviemore (which I loved as a kid but loathe now - still great scenery and things to do around it). The Speyside site has two distilleries within five miles and is not far from Elgin - if I remember correctly, travelling time to Inverness is almost the same as from Granton and you pass Culloden battlefield on the way in. Inverness Castle is not open to the public - it's the Sheriff Court, but if you get good weather take a trip to see dolphins (unless you're used to seeing them).
