having just come back from a week in scotland  and  ended up driving from the lrw show at eastnor up to mallaig in one go ( never again  didnt think it was that far just over 9 hours behind the wheel)

theres a whole host of camp sites on the west coast  of scotland 2 that I can reccomend are

camusdarach campsite near to  arisaig   great views from the campsite and a cracking private beach within 5 mins walking distance  and cheap at £6 per person a a night   and with decent showers aswell

the red squirrel  campsite in glencoe     just watch out for the midges 

Chomp:

Hi Chomp, sod the inlaws, get up there yourself!!

I'm going to post some links for you to research, but my own particular favourite is the drive down to Kinloch Hourn. This is on the west coast, just up the "great Glen" from Fort William. We drove it a couple of years ago, and during the drive we walked among around 50 Red Deer, my little un was speechless during it, we collected mussels on the beach for dinner that night, sighted eagles in the sky and collected a load of driftwood for decorating the garden when we got home. It takes a while to drive but well worth it.

Also have a look at these sites and it is really worth checking out other single track roads.

If they do NOTHING else, get them to drive down to Kinloch Hourn!

A trip to Skye is great, my sister lives down the southern end which is really green and lush, as opposed to the north which is bleak and windswept! And of course try some whisky!!

On the road north out of Ullapool the there is the most amazing campsite just on the edge of a sea loch. Stayed there about ten years ago and saw the most wonderful sunsets. There was a line of guys with camera tripods just clicking away. Sorry, can't remember the name.

I haven't been north of Glasgow for years, but drove my 1965 MG Migdet around the highlands many years ago. As said by others, Skye is a must. Now it's easy with the bridge, but the ferry is more fun! Is there still a ferry?
