Various locations to go camping:

Loch Rannoch, the Caledonian Forest and the black Woods:

short distance west of Rannoch Forest lies The Black Wood of Rannoch, a Caledonian Forest Reserve. This special place is rich in native tree species and supports a wealth of plants, insects, birds and animals. Today the wood is peaceful, but in a time long gone it sheltered outlaws and caterans (cattle rustlers) who made it the base for their notorious operations. Remnants of canals, constructed in the 17th century to assist in the clearing of timber, can also be seen in the woods.

Wild camping Rules:
Wild camping is lightweight, done in small numbers and only for two or three nights in any one place.
