Want to see Scotland? Why not hit the Open Road?

Want to see Scotland? Why not hit the Open Road?

If you fancy seeing Scotland at your own pace, why not do it on the open road and in anything but a boring old car?

Why not try something different like cruising in a campervan, mulling over the magnificent mountains from a motorhome or feeling the wind sweep through your tresses on a Triumph?

If this sounds like your kind of holiday, then Open Road Scotland can help.

The company is the brainchild of Andy McCluskey, who turned to travel after being made redundant from his post in the electronics industry.

Andy said: “I’d been on a couple of open road holidays, the last one a tour of the French Pyrenees where I hired a campervan.

“It was great because we had the freedom to explore without being tied to one place. And if we found a particularly scenic spot where we wanted to spend the night, we could just park up and relax.”

Andy returned home to Glasgow with a vision of introducing a similar experience here. And he did. He used his redundancy cash to buy a couple of VW campervans and Open Road Scotland was born.

Andy, 39, now has a fleet of vehicles, including two six-berth luxury motorhomes, classic campers and Triumph Tiger motorcycles.

They are insured for travelling the length and breadth of Scotland, as well as further across the UK and Ireland.

And having tried and tested many of the popular routes, Andy, wife Lesley and the couple’s labradoodle Hibbert can vouch for the amazing experience.

“It’s a fantastic way to see Scotland,” Andy said. “You can either plan your own route or tell us what you want to see and we can arrange one for you.

“Staycations have become increasingly popular in recent years. I’d say almost half of our customers are from the UK, but we also have quite a lot of visitors from overseas.”

Next year, Open Road Scotland plans to introduce bespoke Scottish tours for small groups. Visit openroadscotland.com.
