Certificated campground near Lairg in the Highlands, a few minutes' walk from an art knife forge.
About Birchbank Certificated Location
Birchbank Certificated Location is a small campground in Lairg, in the far north of the Scottish Highlands. The site has shower facilities and caters to tent campers seeking a quiet base in remote countryside.
Within a few minutes' walk is Kernunos Forge, where a blacksmith creates handmade art knives. The surrounding landscape offers typical Highland terrain—moorland, lochs, and hills—with opportunities for walking and exploring on foot. Lairg itself is a small village with basic services. The certificated status means the site operates under the Camping and Caravanning Club's standards, limiting numbers and maintaining a low-key atmosphere.

What visitors say
Farm site with a toilet and wash hand basin, cold water. Very tight access depending on what your travel in, we were fine in our 7M motor home but there was a couple in a caravan on site and they struggled to get out of the site.
