Explore Scotland in Mellow Yellow

We are renting out Mellow Yellow, our home converted VW campervan. The van is a brisk drive and will take you to the furthest backwaters of Scotland no problem.

It has powersteering and its manual transmission is very light to navigate. The full size fixed bed has a spring mattress and extends to King Size length so even the tallest traveler can rest their weary bones!

The little kitchen comes with a two pit gas stove that ignites by pressing one button and it also has a grill to toast your bread. The cooking unit and bed is where the luxury ends though. The rest of the van is very basic! The toilet is a bucket with a toilet seat - we use it by inserting a bin bag under the seat and disposing of this each and every time it's being used.

Spending a night in the van can be utterly romantic especially if you find a spot that is secluded. Those who are going to travel Scotland's NorthCoast500 route (the coastal route around the highlands that has just been completed, and that is Scotland's version of Route 66), will have no trouble finding good spots as this route is litterally breathtaking from start to finish (ie 500 miles worth of stunning scenery....).

Wild camping is a practice that is long established in Scotland and it is tolerated so long as you don't camp right on the door step of the camp sites (which are really not expensive anyway) or make a lot of noise.
