Wild Camping on Scottish Isles
Q. Are there any uninhabited scottish isles where wild camping is permitted?
Stephen Oreilly, Skelmersdale
A. Your main problem seems to be getting yourself to a suitable island, and, off again (Its not guaranteed that you'll get off exactly when you planned to get off) Presumably you've got some kind of strategy for landing on an uninhabited island, and getting yourself off again. Scottish access law applies. You are allowed to camp on an island, its as simple as that (with just a few exceptions)
Mike Knipe, Criook
A. there is a now uninhabited island in the Pentalnd Firth, it is called Stroma, quite sure if you wish the owner would allow you to stay there for a time and look after his sheep! It can get a bit wild but the wildlife is something else, sunrises and sunsets are fantastic, crystal clear air, watch the shipping in the busy Pentland Firth, plenty to do if you so wish. The owner is very approachable.
