Remote Camping in Scotland?
Q. I am planning a camping trip in Scotland this summer.
Can anyone recommend areas where I am least likely to encounter other walkers/campers?
I am going for about a week and am looking for as remote a place as possible....

A. Try Knoydart region around Loch Morrar.
Take good weather and its out of this world.

A. It depends what type of landscape you want to be in.
Do you want to be close to the shore, mainland/islands, the mountains etc..
How far from civilisation do you want to be and how far do you want to walk in?
MOST IMPORTANTLY the little critter - the Midge - in the height of summer can/will spoil any pleasure you may otherwise get from camping so please take note of this in your choice of destination.

A. Take West Highland line to Currour Halt, do a day or two to the East (watch out for stalking restrictions, ask at the lodge) then cross the line and go West across the Mamores to Glen Nevis and Fort William.
You'll bag more Munros in those few days than many do in a lifetime - 13 on Mamores alone.
