Some pointers needed regarding Galloway or the border regions of Scotland

[Badger74]

I'm planning to go to Scotland just before Christmas for a couple of nights.

Can anyone help with locations in the Galloway/Borders regions that are wooded with close parking options. I want to use my new lavvu and stove, and I don't want to carry it too far.

I'm quite happy for PM's if places want to be kept hush hush.

Thanks

Chris

Loch Trool is a lovely place. Perfect for your needs.
Quick search on here will show plenty of pictures to wet the appetite.

Give redandshane a shout. Its his back yard and if you can catch him sober hes a wealth of info.
If he offers to ring you, youll need an interpreter.

Same when I met Barn Owl and the other lads, kept wondering who Ken was lol
Great bunch up there.

I decided on Loch trool, but I'm not going now until after Christmas. The weather will be too extreme this weekend.
