Truly wild van life camp in Scotland

This week our VW California camper van was treated to an off grid camp in the wilder side of the Scottish Highlands, deep in the Cairngorms national park. We camped near Loch Muick, on the Balmoral estate, East Scotland.
We had no signal and it was a mental health treat, to soak up the wild surroundings, visit a bothy, see lots of red deer and wander around the wild shores of Loch Muick. We visited Queen Victoria's estate called Glas-Allt-Shiel, it was somewhere for her to escape after the death of Prince Albert.
We highly recommend this 8 mile hike around the Loch. The majority is a good path with views to die for from every angle. You have towering mountains, some of which are Munros, herds of red deer and stags, lots of soaring birds overhead and miles of captivating landscape images if you're into photography.
Exploring the wilder side of the UK is such a treat, it nearly always surprises us just how beautiful our island is.
We parked at Glen Muick where there is a visitor centre, public toilets and ample parking space.
