scottish camp suggestions?

[happy camper]

hello all
i'm looking for any suggestions on any particularly good or beautiful places to camp in scotland. I know this is a very broad question but i'd love to hear any suggestions or favorites.
If it's too broad, i can narrow it to my next planned trip..I'm going with a friend and his two youngsters for a short trip, leaving from edinburgh. for that, it needs to be reasonably accessable by car. I quite fancy somewhere with deciduous trees (especially as its autumn) and near a river or water is always a bonus.
Any suggestions would be appreciated either for this trip or just for future reference

Hi

Linn of Dee up near Braemar is one of my favourites, lots of good places to camp, plenty of fallen wood, a wide variety of tree types and alot of walking potential. Lots of deer about as well.
Well worth a look.

Hope this helps

Even on an OS map that place looks nice!!!!

Wish i could get to scotland a bit easier!

I went to Galloway Forest earlier this year and thought that was very nice and had a lot of potential for camping.

head south mate, the borders are on your very doorstep

from fairmilehead you can get to the pentlands in minutes by car,( the ski slope is on the end hill of the pentlands)

a little further south after leadburn there is some of the most wonderful peat moor stretching almost to peebles

and from peebles you can explore the tweed or head over the hills to wilder country to the ettrick and yarrow, saint marys loch, megget and the weather station thast regularly sets the lowest standards for weather conditions in the UK at eskdalemuir

Go for it
