The Bunree campsite on the shores of Loch Linnhe is one of the best places to stay for motorhome owners, especially if you can be lucky enough to bag yourself a front row pitch! In this motorhome blog article we drive through the mist and rain to arrive at one of the best places we have ever stayed at in our motorhome. Read on to find out more about this fantastic place.
Driving through Glencoe
I was looking forward to the drive through Glencoe to Fort William but we didn’t see much of the stunning scenery at all. The A82 that runs through Glencoe was almost like the M62 on a bad day. Huge lorries, and dozens of coaches taking tourists to the popular sight seeing spots as well as driving rain, low cloud and mist don’t make for the best of driving conditions, especially in a motorhome, so it was a frustrating experience. I even drove straight past the entrance to the the Glencoe Visitor centre, as I was focusing on driving, so had to do a complicated u-turn in Glencoe village itself to get back to it.
Glencoe, of course, is infamous for the Glencoe massacre that took place on the 13 February 1692 when the Campbells massacred 38 members of the MacDonalds family.
The wonderful Bunree campsite
As we travel further north on our motorhome tour of Scotland we are discovering places that we have not visited before. Yesterday we were in Killin and tonight we are staying at the Bunree campsite in Onich, 6 miles south of Fort William. Our motorhome is parked at the water’s edge of Loch Linnhe and has breathtaking views of the mountains. We arrived in pouring rain but the sun came out shortly after to reveal spectacular views of Loch Linnhe. If we were staying in a hotel we would have paid a huge amount of money to have such a special view.
Our motorhome was parked right up to the waters edge as you can see from the photo below. What an amazing place this is. It’s what owning a motorhome is all about!
The Scottish Highlands are wonderful and as we drive along we are witnessing some of the best scenery in the world.
Keeping and updating this blog about our motorhome adventure is a bit of a challenge, because obtaining a good internet connection is not easy. Back in Leeds I was used to a 70 mbps internet connection and I could download large files in minutes. In the Scottish Highlands I’m lucky if I can get any connection at all and when I do get one it is frustratingly slow. Uploading images is a problem so I am tending to use my smartphone for taking images, rather than my proper camera, because the file sizes are smaller.
Tomorrow we are heading for Morvich and we will be joining the North Coast 55 route.
