Pack Smart for Every Scottish Season
Because The Cosy Canvas Co. provides your tent, heavy-duty air mattresses, warm duvets, lanterns, and kitchenware, you only need to pack personal gear and seasonal apparel. Here is what we recommend bringing for an effortless stay:
1. Clothing & Footwear
- Layering System: Breathable merino wool base layers, a warm fleece or down jacket for chilly loch-side evenings.
- Waterproof Outer Shell: A high-quality Gore-Tex or DWR jacket for exploring coastal paths and hill tracks.
- Easy-Slip Footwear: Clogs or slip-on shoes for stepping in and out of the bell tent without tracking grass inside.
2. Scottish Wilderness Essentials
- Smidge / Midgie Spray: Scotland's gold standard deet-free repellent.
- Headlamp or Torch: Handy for late night woodland walks to campsite facilities.
- Reusable Water Bottle & Flask: Perfect for warm hot chocolate or tea by the stove.
