SCOTLAND ROAD TRIP // VAN LIFE IN OBAN MULL & GLENCOE FULL VW CAMPER VAN TOUR DOG FRIENDLY HOLIDAY

Hi everyone!!
This week's video is our Scottish Highlands and Islands road trip. We did a quick 3 night tour of Oban, Mull and Glencoe. It was SO cool. We've never done van life before and we loved it. There's a full van tour from 3-7 mins on the video. It was our first family holiday as a three as we took Winnie with us which was so fun!
Hope you enjoy the vlog. Any questions pop them in the comments!
I've linked below my full blog post guide of everywhere we went and all the places we stopped off.

Thank you so much for sharing your trip, we had a wonderful time after this whole uncertainty of Covid. Loved being surrounded by nature and the amazing sceneries ❤️ we spent 2 nights (3 full days) in mull and 2 nights in Glencoe exploring. I would highly recommend visiting and will be back for sure. xxx

    the OTHER way of doing this is to get the ferry over from Oban, do your exploring around Mull, then get the Fishnish ferry to the Ardnamurchan peninsula, drive up to the Corran Ferry (no booking required for either ferry - just queue) which takes you to just south of Fort William. You can then drive all the way down through Glencoe.

    You can't just potter off for a walk in the highlands = you need to be aware where you are and what you're doing, otherwise, you put your's & other's lives at risk. In the video when driving through Glencoe, Jess indicates the hills on the left- these join up to a serious ridgeline, the Aonach Eagach, a serious grade 2 scramble not to be taken lightly.
