Is Scotland "closed" to campervans? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚐

We’ve just welcomed over 20 new explorers to our Ultimate Scotland Map this week who are proving the answer is a resounding NO—if you have the right tools.

We’ve all seen the headlines, the "No Overnight" signs and angry people. Planning a trip lately feels like a military operation. That "dusk-panic" searching for a spot can ruin a holiday.

We’re Trist and Kez. After 8 years and thousands of miles in our vans, we built the tool we wished we had.

The Ultimate Scotland Google Map includes:
✅ 600+ Handpicked Pins: Vetted aires, hidden waterfalls, and secret ruins.
✅ Full Facilities: Water, waste, laundry, and showers.
✅ 100% Legal: Focus on where you are actually welcome.

Save 15+ hours of planning and explore responsibly:

🚐 It’s time.

After saying goodbye to Old Gertie… we’ve made a decision that changes our vanlife completely.

If you’ve been following our journey, you’ll know we were scammed trying to upgrade before. It knocked our confidence more than we ever admitted.

This time, we did it differently.

And honestly… it feels right.

We’d really love your support on this one ❤️
And next week… the full van tour 👀

A storm stopped us in our tracks, plans fell apart, and for a moment… we didn’t know what to do next.

This vlog isn’t about perfect vanlife — it’s about the reality of being forced to slow down, make hard calls, and trust the process when everything feels uncertain.

If you’ve ever had plans ripped away from you, this one’s for you.
We really hope you’ll watch it ❤️

🚐 NEW VLOG IS LIVE 🌧️➡️🌤️

We set off for Cornwall… then a storm shut the whole trip down.
So we waited it out, changed our plans — and honestly, it turned into something really special.

This one’s about slowing down, adapting on the road, and trusting that sometimes the best moments come when things don’t go to plan.

Quick question for you 👇
Would you have waited out the storm… or pushed on anyway?

Thanks for being here as always 💛

🚐❄️ WE DIDN’T EXPECT THIS IN THE HIGHLANDS… ❄️🚐

Tonight’s vlog is live — and it turned into one of those days that reminds us why van life in Scotland never goes to plan (in the best way).


We drive deeper into the Highlands, find a brilliant community aire, take on a short but epic walk to a hidden waterfall… and end the day with a takeaway for two that somehow feeds six 😂


Then things take a turn.
-A quiet overnight park-up.
-A late-night dog walk.
-And something we absolutely didn’t expect.
-By morning, the Highlands had completely changed.

5,000 subscribers… honestly, wow.

We started this channel just to record our road trips in our old VW — something for us to look back on one day. Then people started subscribing… so we shared more of our journey.

When we hit the road in Old Gertie, we had around 600 subscribers. Hitting 5,000 now feels absolutely unreal.

Thank you to each and every one of you for watching, commenting, supporting, and being part of this journey with us. It truly means more than you know.

Let’s smash 2026 🚐✨
