We've love camping in Scotland, but sometimes you need a little more comfort than a canvas can provide. We're working our way through some of the more unusual places to stay on Canopy and Stars and can highly recommend The Roulotte Retreat, a truly magical experience in a meadow.
Do you have any other recommendations for places to stay like this?

I'm currently trying to persuade my hubby to invest in a tent so we can dabble with a night or two under the stars somewhere remote. I'm not having much success so far.

I too am a big fan of staying in unique accommodation and Scotland definitely has many places to offer in stunning off the beaten path locations.
Throughout the years some of my favourites have been:
Sweeney's Bothy on the Isle of Eigg:

There are so many glamping options to consider - it can be hard to decide! What kind of things help to narrow down your search?

The estate owner is a conservationist and if you're lucky you'll get to see beavers. The wetland they've created on the estate is fascinating. Given that beavers have been extinct in Scotland for 400 it was a real priviledge to see what their natural habitat looks like.
