Camping Gear for Sale Across Scotland

[ref]

There is nothing quite like the feeling of waking up in a tent when the haar is lifting off the glen or hearing the wind whip across the machair while you’re tucked deep in your sleeping bag. Whether you’re braving the wild slopes for a night under the stars or setting up for a family week by a sheltered lochside, camping is the heartbeat of a proper Scottish adventure. It strips life back to the essentials: a good stove, a sturdy bit of nylon, and enough tea to see you through the driech spells. This space is for us to share the gear that makes those nights memorable and ensures our kit keeps working as hard as we do.

Who should be posting here?

If you’re based in Edinburgh City or anywhere from the Borders to the far north, this is your patch. Whether you’re upgrading your setup, having a clear-out of the garage, or looking to pass on gear that’s seen you through a few Munro baggings, this is where it needs to go. We want folk who treat their gear with respect—even if it’s covered in a bit of Highland mud—to find new homes for their kit. Don’t let that perfectly good stove gather dust in the cupboard; there’s a scout leader or a student planning their first West Highland Way trek who could put it to proper use.

What belongs here?

• Tents, from lightweight solo bivvies to spacious family domes.
• Stoves, cooksets, and those trusty old enamel mugs.
• Sleeping bags, mats, and the odd bit of thermal insulation.
• Camping furniture, lanterns, and waterproof gear that still has plenty of life left.
• Accessories like dry bags, head torches, and camping tools.

Getting the best out of your listing

Be honest about your gear. If it’s seen the worst of a storm in Glencoe, say so! A bit of trail-wear adds character, but folk need to know if a pole is slightly bent or if a zipper needs a wee bit of wax. Include clear photos of the item set up if you can, and always mention the condition of the groundsheet. If you’re listing from Edinburgh, mention if you’re happy for people to pick up from Leith or the Meadows, as it saves a lot of hassle with postage. Being local means we can skip the faff of shipping and just meet up for a quick blether.

A final note on our wild spaces

Remember, we’re lucky to have the Land Reform Act allowing us to explore our beautiful country, but that comes with a responsibility to leave no trace. If you’re passing on gear, pass on that ethos too. Whether you’re heading out to the islands or just doing a bit of garden camping with the weans, make sure your kit is up to the job and treated with the care it deserves.
