Scotland has a [http://www.outdooraccess-scotland.com/outdoors-responsibly/access-code-and-advice/soac/ code of access] to all rural areas, particularly national parks such as the Cairngorms and Lomond and the Trossachs. Camping is tolerated and allowed anywhere where public access applies, out of the way on farmland, out of sight of houses and public buildings and out of sight of roads. This includes beaches, you have very little light pollution on the west coast which means you are treated to a fast array of stars at night. One must take care not to damage the natural environment, and in upland and peat areas, open fires are discouraged due to the danger of peat fires and forest fires. Camping near A-Roads is not included under public access provisions, but it is well tolerated, making it easier to travel, as if you become stuck somewhere you can pitch camp as long as you are out of the way.
 
If you're camping in or near a small coastal town, the harbor might have toilets and showers (operated by coins and not very expensive) for the yacht crews. In some places there's an entrance code, but someone might help you and give you the code - just make sure you're leaving things clean so that no one has a reason to complain.
