Camping and Caravan Sites in Scotland

Yet another option for
those fishermen seeking the independence of the self catering option is
to make use of the facilities offered by the many camping and
caravanning sites in Scotland. Such sites provide a flexible and
economical option for those anglers who like to travel light with a tent
and a rucksack, or those travelling with their own touring caravan. Many
sites also offer static holiday caravans for rent by the week, often
with the most luxurious amenities. Whatever the preferred fishing
location, from the Borders to Cape Wrath, there is likely to be a
camping and caravan site within easy reach of some excellent fishing. |

Lidalia is an award-winning site
for touring caravans, offering comprehensive facilities. Set in
the heart of the village of Newcastleton, population 800, the
site is within walking distance of all the village's
many amenities. A beautiful landscaped 3 acre flat site, all
pitches are hard-standing, some set around the two pretty duck
ponds, whilst others are adjacent to a wooded hill inhabited by
red squirrel. It is a family site run by a local border family
Eddie & Isobel Rutherford.
The site is an excellent centre
for both walkers and fishermen. A useful booklet, available from
the caravan site, lists details of nine walks, ranging from a
gentle stroll along the banks of the River Liddle to a more
energetic eleven mile hill walk.
The main attraction in the area
for the fisherman is the salmon and sea trout fishing on the Esk
and Liddle fisheries water on the River Liddle, which runs past
the village, and, only a few miles down the road, on the Border
Esk. A booklet is available from the caravan site giving details
of the fishing on the River Liddle, and day and weekly permits
are available at very reasonable rates from Eddie at the site.
Season permits are also available from Iain Bell, head keeper at
Buccleuch Estates, based in Langholm.

salmon and sea trout fishing see:
