Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, hosts the famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which is the world’s largest arts festival. Both the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are UNESCO World Heritage sites. These towns are worth exploring, and the best way to do that is to use a campervan or a motorhome. Not only is staying at a campervan or a motorhome more economical than staying at a hotel, but it is also great for discovering many charming attractions in town. Scotland is the only country in the United Kingdom where wild camping (camping outside of campsites) is still permitted. Scotland’s natural wonders are waiting to be explored.
