You cannot beat the remote and rugged availability of backcountry camping in Scotland. The Scottish Outdoor Access Code allows for the responsible use of nature throughout the nation, and those legislative rights extend to wild camping. Recently my family took advantage of this open access to backpack into the Camasunary Bay on the Isle of Skye. This magical place has a beautiful natural sandy beach at the end of an open green grassy glen. The rocky mountain peaks and ridges of Blabheinn and Sgurr na Stri bound the glen at the southern edge of the Cuillin, Skye's impressive mountain range.
