South West Coastal 300 | Scotland's Most Underrated Road Trip

Alright people?! This time in our pre-Ady UK travel series, we’re back up North to take on one of the most underrated Scotland road trips, the epic South West Coastal 300.

We start this Scotland van life stint near Dumfries and head anti-clockwise along the Solway Coast to the Galloway Peninsula and the most Southerly point in the country.

The sun has got his hat on and it’s beaches galore. Plus we find some of the most epic park up spots we’ve ever seen. Like, showstopping, seriously gorgeous, these are “what we built the van for kind of park ups”.

We also spend the night stargazing at a meteor shower under one of the darkest skies in Europe in the middle of Galloway Forest.

So guys if you’re looking for some inspiration for your next UK travels, sit back and take note.

It's great to have you back people, albeit retrospectively. What a wonderful part of the country you've been in, and those views are to die for. Happy travelling x

Really enjoyed that! Nice to see a not so popular part of Scotland. I enjoy also seeing what you give yourselves to eat. Your meals look amazing!

Really enjoyed this tour, and definitely on my bucket list over the next few years. Thanks so much for sharing the beauty of those amazing park-ups, the villages, roads and meals. Loved it all!

Hi guys. Can I ask if that was an actual bookable campsite you stayed on at the mull of Galloway. Looks lovely. Cheers.

[denesfabian]

This was absolutely incredible, even to watch! Lovely places, lovely vibes... Thank you so much for sharing with us. :)
And I'm really glad you did get a steering wheel cover. (:

I have never seen that area before, thank you very much for sharing… And that first meal caught my eye, the one that looks like pork. Did you say that was eggplant? You got a share of the recipe really did look good whatever it was! Thanks you guys from Northern California!

Interestingly you mentioned being obsessed with iron bru.. my Nan suffered extreme morning sickness when pregnant with my uncle. She was on the way to get a new morning sickness medicine- thalidomide!- when she stopped at a shop and my grandad bought her iron bru. She said she instantly felt better. She decided not to take the medicine and what a lucky decision that was! When I was pregnant my nan would buy me bottles of it but I hate it 😂

Cyprus calling. Come from the west coast so really enjoyed this video. About to have tattie scones and bacon but in pitta bread, got to have something local. Looking forward to the next instalment.

James, there is no question; when you decide finally to settle 'Chez Jay' HAS to happen!!!
Trying to recall the timing of your trip but I think it was August? Probably the Perseid meteor shower you saw.
That was a Charolais bull you spotted - they are just RIDICulously bulbous... and loved the hare sighting.
Sarah - I'm with J again - tattie scones eggs and beans are an all-season brekky!!!
I am so glad you were able to enjoy the Bonny Land in that fine weather. It is still pretty in the murk, but certainly not open-door-worthy.
Sending my weekly hugglies to Ady. YAM xx
