Overnight Near (1 hour or so drive) to Scrabster for ORKNEY Rally Event 2024?

[RAW]

Anyone know of anywhere to overnight for a coach (a little over 8m) on the way to Scrabster from Findhorn, currently at Findhorn West Beach Paid parking for Overnight and staying 2 nights, leaving Tuesday ? Thinking maybe Castletown as shown on here https://wildcamping.co.uk/app.php and also open to other ideas / suggestions. TIA

The Merc is well known in Helmsdale as it lived there for nearly a week. Many places to explore.

If you mean the Mirage Fish and Chip place with sit down restaurant next door then yes, you are right, just had some for Lunch and they were spot on !! Parked up at Helmsdale now, busy here !!

Silly me thinking that was the length when it was the width, as you say about 10ins long by about 5 wide. Visited on the way up to Orkney this time, did not make the same mistake. Small chips is still a large plate full.
