<map lat='56.46249048388979' lng='-3.31787109375' zoom='6' view='0' float='right'/> Hitchhiking in Scotland tends to be far easier than England, and can be incredibly easy in the Highlands (specifically towards the west coast and islands). In Dumfries and Galloway (south-west) Hitching locally is reasonably easy.

Wild Camping

Scotland has a code of access to all rural areas, particularly national parks such as the Caringorms and Lomand 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. 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.
