I'm Mike, I've travelled all over Scotland in my vans and I've had the best time! There's endless places to see, places to stay over and things to explore. I've got endless suggestions and knowledge of van life around Scotland. I've climbed 160+ of Scotland's mountains so I can give you the best routes and walks I know of.
My vans come with books on van life in Scotland and places to see. Which are great!
I'm happy to help you build an itinerary or recommend busy or quieter places. I can usually do pick ups/drop offs in Edinburgh or where suits. It just depends on my work schedule but I'll do what I can do accomodate your needs.
For me Glencoe is my favourite, I've climbed every hill, swam in every river and waterfall and stayed in the van all over the area. (So I know all the secrets)
Looking forward to meeting you!

A totally amazing trip and the little van was epic. Very easy to drive, comfortable seats and bed. A simple set up and perfect for our first vanlife adventure. Mike was a pleasure to deal with and very flexible. Highly recommend

Première expérience pour moi en van, et tout s’est très bien déroulé. Mike et sa compagne, Kirsty sont très sympathiques, arrangeants et disponibles en cas de questions. Le van était propre et conforme à sa description. Tout était fonctionnel, et nous avons eu plaisir à voyager en van. Ma mère étant frileuse, ils nous ont même fournis des couvertures supplémentaires. Merci pour tout, nous n’hésiterons pas à repasser par eux pour compléter notre visite de l’Ecosse

Première expérience en van pour nous. Le van est très facile à conduire. Nous avions assez de couvertures et le nécessaire. Mîke est sympathique et disponible pour les questions. Nous avons adoré notre voyage. Attention toutefois à la ZFE d edimbourg car le véhicule ne permet pas de traverser. A regarder avant de passer à Edimbourg. Le van a été peint juste avant notre arrivée pour un nouveau look.

The camper is truly so easy and fun to drive! I had a great weekend exploring the Highlands in this camper. Sleeping was very comfortable and cooking very practical. You have everything you need! 10/10 would rent again :-)

Thanks Ella! Welcome back anytime.

Awesome trip with the Panther. You cannot be missed or lost the van ! It's a very simple campervan but it's enough to travel in Europe. Very easy to drive for drivers used to drive to the right side of the road too : it's an automatic vehicule.

Mike and her partner were very helpful before, during, and after the trip. They gave us so many tips and advice about our trip and different locations. The van itself is comfy and perfect to drive and to sleep in. Amazing time and experience, thanks a lot 🙏

Nous avons passé de merveilleux moments avec le van de Mike qui est un propriétaire absolument génial, arrangeant et tellement sympathique. Le van est ultra confort, il y a tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin dedans, et le toit ouvrant pour profiter de l’air (quand il n’y a pas de midges !) est un petit luxe ! Si nous revenons en Écosse nous repartirons avec grand plaisir à bord de la Panthère Rose 🩷 Encore merci pour tout !

Mike was super friendly and explained everything very well. The Pink Panther is perfect for a camping trip to explore Scotland‘s beautiful nature. The bed is actually quite comfortable, and the car is easy to drive even if you haven’t driven in UK before. The Pink Panther is guaranteed to get you some admirers who want to take photos of this cute van.

What an honor it was to drive around in this van. The van was exactly as listed and honestly even better. We were able to rely completely on the van for all our travel and cooking needs. The van is cozy and the bed is SO comfy. We got some of the best sleep in the van. The kitchen is practical and comes with everything needed to make tasty camping meals. The van got us to all the places we wanted to see - it was a lot of places, and we were so impressed with the amount of gas it used.
The owner, Mike, was a joy to work with. He was so understanding of our very unusual arrival and departure hours and incredibly communicative and helpful. He was generous with his knowledge of Scotland and shared bond of camping. We already know, without a doubt, that we will be returning and renting from Mike again.

Pratique avec sa boite automatique.

The Van very practical and confortable, and Mike made the return of the van easy for us on front of our hotel in Edinhburg.
The discussion was very easy for a last minute booking, from the evening to the next day.
Good expérience, we recommend

Va ser molt fàcil comunicar-nos amb ell en tot moment. La furgoneta funcionava be, ens van donar mantes per la nit i no vam passar fred tot i anar a l'illa de Skie al mes de març. Els fugons funcionaven correctament.

We did a wonderful trip thanks to Mike's Van. The vehicle was perfect for our needs, and Mike is super reactive, sympathic, honest and serious, always willing to help us. If you want to discover Edinburg with a Van, do not hesitate to ask him !
