If you can get up to near Callender i can give you a couple of places's one of which is in Callander on a car park with swings etc a few people stop on there.

3- 4 hours fom your gaff could be anywhere past Dumfries depending on speed.

At Ayr you could stop on the front.

Give me an idea of where you want to get too and i will look up  where i have marked off stopping places.

also e mail me and i will send you a link to parking places i dont think i am allowed to post it on here.

Ps i live near by

I was hoping top get to anywhere between Hamilton and Sirling! email is frith.17 at ntlworld.com

Thanks

Hi  There is Services at Hamlton + Stirling Both do overnight parking but in with the wagons Cost??  but I think you get a token for ££ off your breakfast.

 If you any where near Dumfries  Ayr or Callander YOU ARE LOST     

Thanks for your reply, i had one of those in mind but like you say in with the trucks, i didn't know if there was somewhere along the way that you didn't have to be eating a yorkie to fit in :)

Hi Hamlton is the better of the two it has quite a big parking area  if you get as far as there you will not be worried where you stop it will take aleast 4 hours  and at  that time of night its Services or a Laby  

There is a cc-club site at Moffat which is on the right as you enter the town centre just past the woolen mill and its big car park.

Also if you carry on through the town and out on the A701 for about 10 min's there is a lay by on the right, on a bend so you can do a U turn to get back on the 74.again a very quite lay by.

Ps if you stop on the services park in the car park and NOT near the wagons as you wll get wagons coming and going all night plus the fridges running.

There is also a site just off the M74 at Abington. Thats a bit further north than Moffat but not as far as Hamilton. Never visited it myself (too close to home for me) but there are 16 reviews on ukcampsite of this site  - Mount View Caravan site.

There is (or was ) a site just off the M74 between Motherwell and Hamilton at Strathclyde Park. Never visited there either and its been a while since I heard anyone speak about it.

the site wee are seasonal on is only 5 mins down road from stirling services. but callender is only 1/2 hour along the road and its car park is used regularly .

Hi

Abington would suit you fine close to the motorway / quiet and safe for the kids.,Just watch out for the cattle grid just after the top of the hill after you go over the motorway, and if you use satnav it will send you down the wrong road just before the site so ignore turn left command after the cattle grid and wait till you see  the site.Its called lettershaws farm I was there last week. Caravan club say it has 5 pitches but it has around 40
