Caravan park just 12 miles from major city crowned ‘best in Scotland’

A POPULAR caravan park just 12 miles from a major Scottish city has been named the best in Scotland at a prestigious awards ceremony.

Linwater Caravan Park in the village of Newbridge, near Edinburgh, was crowned the Best Caravan Park at the Scottish Hospitality Awards 2024.

Open all year round, the park has pitches for caravans, motorhomes, campervans and tents.
