Wild camping in scotland

[WoodWhite]

I am considering going wild camping along the scottish coastline, does anyone know a good area to start considering? My ideal is to camp on beaches, moving un-hurriedly up the coast, possibley stopping for a day or two inbetween to sea-fish and such.
We not planning to forage all our food as we go or anyinthg like that .
Will need a village to restock food every couple of days.

Thanks in advance

West coast is Wetter
East coast is dryer but colder.

There's some lovely bays in south ayrshire and much further north there is morar.

there is a fairly well maintained coastal path that runs around fife, with plenty of small fishing villages in between, ive not done it all but small sections including the ellie chain walk, there are a few little camp site spots on the way around lundin links im aware of and possibly at east sands, all the beaches are popular though so camping on the sand may not be the most private of experiences.

there is also the north sea trail, dont know much about it, noticed it when googleing for the fife costal path link, looks intresting to say the least.

I would def. do the Chain Walk, it's great fun, beware of spring tides though.

From Findhorn,Moray, to Banff is a good walk, with plenty of places to shelter up for the night, plenty of small villages where you can get most of your fresh supplies from.

Caithness and sutherland, is going to be hard for you to get supplies, so consider taking a lot of dried goods with you, and do a bit of forage as well,

Wish you well on your journey,

And remember, your only as warm as your doss bag!!!

I'd recommend Nairn to Banff, Or Findhorn- Banff but if you have time you must go to Culbin forest.
