Spend a night (or two, or three!) glamping under canvas in Scotland and wake up to a bright new morning in a gorgeously scenic location – no tent pegs required!

Why should I choose a yurt?

  • They offer a high-end glamping experience and are usually comfortably equipped for stress-free outdoor sleeping.
  • Unlike wild camping, yurts are already pitched and are often close to places where you can take a hot shower, charge your phone or connect to WiFi.
  • There are lots of locations in Scotland where you can find yurts, from rural country escapes on farmlands to coastal retreats with accessible beaches and loch side hideaways.

What is a yurt?

Yurts are the traditional dwellings of central Asian nomads and have been in use for at least 3,000 years. Round and portable, traditional yurts are made up of a wooden frame covered in a layer of felt and possibly canvas, making them watertight and sturdy.

What can I expect at a yurt?

  • Warm and inviting glamping accommodation in a round, usually Mongolian style, yurt.
  • A well-furnished interior, with features such as a wood burning stove, cosy bed, comfortable cushions and large patterned rugs.
  • Ample things to see and do nearby, from woodland walks to short strolls into town.
