Good Observation Spots in Scotland?

[johnwardlaw]

Was wondering if anyone from Scotland knows of any good places to take the telescope for a look?  I'm taking my driving test soon and will be getting a car so I can pretty much go wherever I want, just want to find some places where I can get a clear view and have as little street lights etc. as possible.

Cheers!

I'm aware I've misspelled spots, oops

Where abouts in Scotland are you?

Hi, John.

As above, can you be more specific about your location? Even with a car, 'go wherever I want' isn't that workable.

Dumfries & Galloway provides a world standard 'dark sky site', but driving there from my home town is just not practicable for a grab n' go session.

If you do a little hunt on tinterweb you'll pick up some ideas. There are maps showing areas where light pollution is highest/least - but it would be best to find someplace fairly close to you and reasonably accessible.
