Wild camp beach spots in Scotland

Hi folks, looking for some tips on a good spot for some wild camping near a beach and woodland on the west coast of Scotland. I live in Glasgow and would ideally look for somewhere with a good stand of trees for setting the tarp and at the same time be able to forage along the shore for some grub...I've looked into kilbride bay but there doesn't seem to be any good parking and I don't know how the locals would take it! Advice welcomed! Cheers, Dom
 
Hiya, Depends how far you want to travel and how remote you want to be. As uncleboo says, Take yer pick. Personal favoutites are up around Oban, Fort William and on up to Ullapool and beyond. If you want a short trip anywhere past Faslane or on round to the ferry for Bute (the wee one), or Arrochar even, loads of mussels. If the mackrel are in you're in for a treat.
Another favourite of mine is just past Strontian where you can hire a boat and fish for all sorts. I have some collapsible lobster pots and I'm sure I know where to get squat lobster so that is in a future plan of mine lol.
Wherever you choose enjoy it.
 
About Oban At Ganavan, use to be good place for camping ect, but now a building site/houses as where the old pavilion area use to be, ruined it completely now. though can still go along the shoreline to find secluded spots. http://www.ganavansands.com/ though they decided to build apartments right in front of the houses on bottom of the development plan. Blocking the houses behind sea view :( (was a massive uproar about it)
