Best campervan routes around Edinburgh
Edinburgh to St Andrew's
Following the Queensferry Crossing through to Fife is a great driving route to consider when you book a motorhome for hire in Edinburgh. This only opened in 2017, but it also houses the astonishing Forth Bridge and Forth Road Bridge, which, together with the Queensferry Crossing, have a combined history of around three centuries. As you follow the journey, you can continue around East Neuk along the coast and stop at some of the pretty little fishing villages before getting to St Andrew's.
Edinburgh along the North Coast 500
One of the most iconic routes in Scotland is the North Coast 500. This is a circular road that starts and ends in Inverness. Scottish Highlands’ most prominent city is Inverness, and getting there involves a scenic 150-mile drive from Edinburgh, which takes 3 hours. You can take the journey to locations like Dunnet Head, Durness, Ullapool, and Applecross.
Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye
The Isle of Skye is a breathtaking destination that many tourists and locals visit annually. Known for its geographical location and fantastic countryside, it takes around 227 miles to get to the Isle of Skye from Edinburgh. Along the way, you will have plenty of places to stop at, including Loch Lomond, Oban, Glen Coe, Ben Nevis, Glenfinnan Viaduct, and then Eilean Donan Castle to finally arrive at the Isle of Skye.
Edinburgh to Jedburgh to Lauder
It’s amazing to note that if you book a motorhome rental in Edinburgh, you can be in the most southern spot in Scotland, the Scottish Borders. The drive is an extremely scenic one, going to Jedburgh and then heading through to Lauder. It takes just one hour, and when you reach Jedburgh, you can stop at Augustinian Abbey, which has stood there since the 12th century.

You can sleep in your motorhome rental in Edinburgh in a layby as long as it is in the Camping Management Zone and you treat it like a stop and rest. However, encampment on the road, including the laybys, is a criminal offense.
