The second edition of Robin’s Cool Camping: Scotland guidebook is published by Punk Publishing. Robin describes it as ‘half glossy coffee table book and half stuff it in the dashboard and drive around the country guide, with lashings of dramatic colour photography.’

Discover the top 50 ‘cool’ sites in one of the world’s most scenic countries, with everything from sites with their own sweeping Atlantic beaches through to bijou haunts with hammocks in the heather and lavender scented saunas. Others boast the odd (‘actually very odd, but a lot of fun’) Iron Age Roundhouse, as well as traditional tent pitches.

‘One of my favourite sites is the Lazy Duck,’ says Robin. ‘It says everything about the Lazy Duck that their half dozen Aylesbury ducks are too lazy to even bother hatching their own eggs, instead relying on the site’s other ducks to do it for them.

‘Not for them toiling to keep their eggs warm and then the hassle of having to rear their young. No, they are far too busy relaxing around the lush pond, sunning themselves amongst the heather or seeking shade under the protective shelter of the giant Scots pines that hunker all around.

‘The Lazy Duck seems to have a similarly soporific effect on campers too. It may only be a mile or so from the nearest village at Nethybridge, but the rough single-track road in takes you to another world, one where the towering massif of the Cairngorms dominates the background and the foreground opens up with gently twittering birds, swaying hammocks and rope swings.’
