Permits & Access for Caravan Transport in Argyll & Bute
Notification runs through Police Scotland. The A82 from Glasgow via Loch Lomond, the A83 down Kintyre and the A85 to Oban are the main ways in, with single-carriageway stretches the transporter plans around. Island parks on Bute, Islay or Mull need CalMac coordination, and not every ferry can take a static's dimensions, so that is confirmed before booking.
Static caravans are abnormal loads, so the STGO notification to Police Scotland and the mandatory escort are handled by your transporter as part of the job — typically allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
Caravan Transport FAQ — Argyll & Bute
- Can static caravans be transported to Argyll & Bute islands?
- Caravans can reach islands connected by bridge (like Seil). For ferry-served islands, your transporter coordinates with CalMac. Not all island ferry routes can accommodate static caravan dimensions — this needs to be confirmed before booking transport. Bute, Islay, and Mull are the most common island destinations.
- What is the main road access to Argyll & Bute?
- The A82 from Glasgow via Loch Lomond is the primary route. The A83 to Campbeltown serves the Kintyre peninsula. The A85 leads to Oban. These are generally suitable for caravan transport, though some stretches are single carriageway. Your transporter will plan around the most challenging sections.

- Yes. All reputable caravan transporters serving Argyll & Bute carry goods-in-transit insurance covering your caravan during loading, transit, and unloading.
