    We find a more economical way is pre plan some simple meals & take them with us when leaving home. This then gives us some leeway to buy a coffee/cake, meal, to support places like Port Patrick. Yes please, put us into the mix for the enhanced P4N app, thanks.

    Interesting !
    Being bloody old we waste a lot of money on the nice things, ( food , eat out ) but have lived your lifestyle with kids in tow , never with just ours, and the budget was always tight.
    We are new to park4night and looking forward to using it alongside of your Scotland book. We have been going to Scotland for 30 odd years in our old Motorhome but times have changed as not quite as free due to all them tourists 😅.
    We gave up motorhoming 2 years ago due to mobility issues but couldn’t live without the freedom of travel with a shower and toilet so we bought a van . See you on the roads 👍😎

    Houses that age are built usually in the local stone no matter where you are because that's what is available at the time of construction. Newton Stewart where you were driving through at the time you were commenting on the boring colours the houses are built of Whin stone a grey granite colour stone quarried near Creetown just along the coast. Aberdeen houses and city buildings are reknowned for the grey granite they are built of and gets it the name of the granite city. Skye houses if they are different colours are probably rendered over stone and painted but then there would be more maintenance involved throughout their lives.
    It was such a shame you felt Stranraer was rough I haven't found that at all and have now recently chosen to live there. It's really friendly and welcoming with lots of amenities good accessibility and picturesque where I live with views of the Loch and the Rhinns. I notice most people who do the SW350 give it a miss maybe because for some reason it has developed this name for being "rough" however I'm glad I've not found this and don't really know why people consider it to be "rough"?

    With regard to doing your shopping on a budget, surely you should permit yourself to bringing a few staple items from home?
    Also, for anyone following your footsteps, both the Dumfries Tescos (if you can find them 😉) are great for reductions in the evening.
    Also also, I usually find that planning the week's means and doing the trip's food shop in one go is more economical than doing several smaller shops.

I would have hit Poundland, B&N, Home Bargains etc to find cheap food options.
