Dogs and other Pets
The Scalloway Camp Caravan Park is situated on a working farm, therefore unfortunately no dogs or other animals are allowed on site. Should you arrive with a pet we reserve the right to refuse access and no refund will be given.

Please do not climb the perimeter fences. There is an electric fence on the west side and part of the north side. Appropriate warning signs are in place. Use gates or stiles provided. There is a small stream that runs through the site, partly in a wooded areas. Access is allowed to this area though care should be taken around the stream.
There is also an amenity area across the road alongside the loch which you can walk around and enjoy. However care should be taken when crossing the road and children should be accompanied while crossing the road.
It should be noted that the loch is a site of scientific interest (SSSI) and therefore every effort needs to be made to avoid any pollution going into the loch. It is possible to walk around the loch but you are advised not to walk on the golf course
You should also note that any horses in the adjacent fields should not be fed under any circumstances.
You are asked to abide by the Countryside Access Code a copy of which is displayed in the Amenity Building.
