Summer days of endless sunlight may seem like the ideal conditions for camping, but there's a case to be made for a winter getaway.
On a cold winter's night, nature lovers marvelling at the tapestry of stars have the opportunity to experience the Northern Lights. The chance to see the ethereal display is even greater in the Highlands and Islands where the auroras are known to make a showing.
The chilly - but romantic - notion is the subject of a recent roundup of the best winter glamping sites in the UK by the Telegraph. Two locations in Scotland made the list as holidaymakers were tipped off to stay in the Isle of Skye and Cairngorms.
If you're seeking peace and quiet, but wish to stay protected from the cold, glamping in the off-season might just be for you. The luxurious conditions might be enough to convince the most reluctant campers.
The amenities cushion the more uncomfortable aspects of the outdoors with beds, central heating, showers and maybe even a hot tub.
For "empty roads and natural drama", the publication recommends heading to the Isle of Sky's Cowshed Boutique Bunkhouse in Uig. The wooden pods provide a cosy place to appreciate the view starting from just £85 a night.
"They're small but perfectly formed, with proper beds, kitchenettes, heating and en-suite showers, as well as fine views over the sweeping bay," writes the newspaper.
Visitors are recommended to pick up a warm up with a wee dram from Isle of Skye Brewing Company just down the road.
The second highlight is ideal for a local ski break. Set in various settings - including shepherds' huts, pods, spacious cabin and converted railway wagon - Glenshee Glamping in the Cairngorms offer a home off piste from £190 for two nights.
