I live in Ellon, Aberdeenshire and intend to catch the ferry from Aberdeen to cycle up to Unst in June 2012. Is anyone interested in accompanying me? It will be a camping trip, with probably 1 or 2 nights wild camping, rather than just campsites...

Glad to hear from you if you are interested.

My Profile
I've been up Unst way a few times for the summer soltice but am not sure yet if I'll be there this year.

Gardiesfauld is/was luxury camping if you find you want all mod cons on a budget.
You really need a week or even two to appreciate the place.

Thanks, I have lived up there in the mid 70's and late 90's and love the place... Simmer Dim on Burrafirth beach is a great experience if the sky is clear and i really hope I can get back this summer!
