I live in Scotland and this year we are planning a 10 day tour staying each night on a different site but driving no more than one hour between sites.
That way we can have a lazy pack up but be on the next site by lunchtime, giving us the afternoon and evening in each new location.
Leaving home our first stop is Inveraray. 40 miles.
Then to Glen Coe 54 miles, then Invergarry 40 miles, then Rosemarkie 48 miles, then Burghead 48 miles, then Banff 43 miles, then Aberdeen 48 miles, then Arbroath 55 miles, then Milnathort 52 miles, then home 87 miles.
This trip takes us up the west coast and then through the Great Glen to the Moray Firth, then down the east coast.
As to booking in advance, well that is up to the individual, but I would advise that between the middle of July and the end of August, you at the very least, phone ahead each day to secure a pitch in your intended area.

<<<i see no difference between a caravan and a motor home they both serve the same purpose.. >>>
Having toured with both, this is only true where the sleeping, cooking etc are in use.
On a site, to go off site to tour, get shopping etc they are two very different types of units.
Also, on the road between sites, you can pull into a lay bye and use the motor home facilities and no one will bat an eye-lid, but do the same with a caravan, IE legs down, step at the door etc and folks start wondering if you are just having a quick cuppa or you are a new age traveller and staying for a few weeks.
When we had a tiny caravan, we did wild-camp in Scotland, but we chose our wild-camping sites carefully as we did when we were wild-camping with the motor homes and we never used lay byes for these.
As trog says, it is more important to be on a site with your caravan than it is with a motor home. So if you are touring Scotland in July, make sure you are booked on a site for the next night before you leave the one you are on.
Wild-camping on the Outer Hebrides.
