Edinburgh iconic American school bus used as a 'hostel on wheels' up for sale

A one-of-a-kind American school bus conversion is now up for sale in Edinburgh, offering a tremendous opportunity to own a unique home on wheels - or a ready-to-go travel business.

Selling on Facebook Marketplace for £44,995, the 1999 Bluebird American School Bus International 3800 features six comfortable beds, a chill-out area, a kitchen, a side 'storage' room and a front seating and dining area.

The interior of the unique movable accommodation features light colours and natural materials and offers some smart storage solutions, ensuring effective use of space and providing cosy living.

Showcasing a contemporary rustic feel throughout, the bus was used by the current owner as a touring "hostel on wheels", taking explorers around breathtaking Scottish Highlands.

Taking to Facebook Marketplace to find a new caring owner for the marvellous vehicle, Angus Luff said: "Our unique converted Skoolie is up for sale!

"After being brought over from the states in early 2020, our school bus has been used as part of business hosting adventure trips around the highlands of Scotland - The Bonnie Camper (Hostel On Wheels).

"Unfortunately, I am taking the decision to sell the bus as I will be relocating to Australia.

"This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a really unique vehicle to either use as an epic road trip machine or as part of a business. Perhaps, a static holiday let on a glamping site."

Running on diesel, the bus comes with all the furniture, some useful extras - a £700 awning, outdoor tables and chairs - and an MOT valid until February 2023. The vehicle requires an HGV licence to drive.
