Beecraigs Country Park

Thursday 11th October 2018

Morning mist hung over Loch Lommond as we left the Trossachs behind and made our way to Beecraigs Country Park Caravan site, near Linlithgow.

As you may have noticed, we tend to stay on caravan club sites, mainly because we know we will get a heated washroom. Beecraigs is a council run site, but it certainly had a wow factor.....

The pitches were relatively flat, sat on a brow of a hill with wonderful views. I'm sure we could see Edinburgh, and definitely the Fourth bridges, and most importantly, well kept heated washrooms.
Not only that. they provided a good Scottish breakfast in the visitor centre.

A Stag rut calling and the Fourth Bridges in the distance 
 The first time we had heard rutting deer was when we were camping in France, in the Dordogne area.
We had had a particular tiring night, having to repeatedly pump up the air bed.... to which we gave up  in the end. Then we heard this amazing sound of a rutting deer and another replying, that was further away. Fantastic,  and we heard it again today, in the Scottish hills.
