A SHOW celebrating Scotland’s caravan and holiday home industry is set to make its return this year claiming “adventure is calling” for all travel enthusiasts.
The Scottish Caravan, Motorhome and Holiday Home Show is making its return to the SEC in Glasgow on Thursday, February 6, for three days.
Celebrating its comeback the show has unveiled a map of Scotland’s most “enchanted” tourist spots and was created by a lead Scottish tourism guide and influencer Andy The Highlander, in a bid to inspire visitors to uncover the country’s most “magical, mysterious and breathtaking locations”.
The illustrated map, which is a collaboration between Andy and the show, showcases a “treasure trove” of must-visit destinations, each beholding its own “legends, myths and dark secrets” waiting to be discovered by visitors.
The map invites visitors to “dream big” and plan their perfect Scottish getaway by including top attractions like everyone’s favourite monster Nessie along with castles stooped in dark legends and stunning mountain peaks.
The Scottish Caravan, Motorhome and Holiday Home Show is regarded as the biggest of its kind in the country and attracts big brands, the latest models and a wide selection of travel options from the country’s leading suppliers.
The show aims to encourage people from across the UK to explore alternative ways to travel in a comfortable and sustainable way.
Jillyanne Lamarra, show manager, said she can’t wait to welcome people to the show and to find new ways to uncover Scotland’s “fascinating history”.
She said: “Scotland is packed full of adventure options, so much so, it can be hard to know where to start when picking your route. Our magical map is a celebration of Scotland’s unparalleled charm and diversity, encouraging travellers to embrace the freedom and joy of exploration while supporting sustainable tourism.
“We can’t wait to welcome people to the show to experience the huge amount of versatile travel options our amazing exhibitors have, and perhaps find their new preferred way to travel Scotland and uncover its fascinating history – or enjoy a walk on the beach followed by some fresh fish and chips – the options are endless.
“This year we will be revealing our first Accessible Holiday Home with our partners Border Caravans in a move to improve the travel industry’s accessibility options which until now have been limited. In addition, we will be bringing back our Farmer’s Market with a smorgasbord of delicious food and drink from local suppliers, an e-bike testing area, huge accessory store, Kids Zone and a climbing wall.”
Andy the Highlander is a self-proclaimed folklore fanatic and is known for his kilted adventures and unmatched passion for Scotland.
He said: “People travel far and wide to come to Scotland looking to experience for themselves the magic which lies in our history and landscapes. It was great working with the Scottish Caravan, Motorhome and Holiday Home Show to create this unique map which I know will help people better select the places they should add to their Scottish itinerary.
“I believe there is no better way to see our beautiful country than to immerse yourself in its landscape – and what better way to do that than to travel by caravan, motorhome or book a holiday home. I can’t wait to see the range of options at this year’s show.”
