Hi,
Me and my wife are just in the process of buying equipment and getting excited for our first wild camping in Scotland. Does anybody know any good spots? Ideally we are looking for a forest next to a river or good stream so we can set up camp for a couple of days before moving on, the stream would be a source for water and to pass the day gold panning. Thanks for any help

Strathfillan wigwams at Tyndrum offer goldpanning as part of their camping. Other noted goldpanning spots can be found in the Leadhills 'round Dumfries-shire (though permissions from the estate would be needed.) Also the hills around Blackford in Perthshire have been known to offer up good amounts of gold. A couple of years back a couple got enough for their wedding bands.

Depends on the weather as to midge, but should be early enough in the year to avoid the bad times.
