Neil Oliver took the opportunity to promote the benefits of holidaying in a caravan as he opened the Scottish Caravan & Outdoor Leisure Show, the Glasgow Evening Times reports.
The Scottish author, historian and broadcaster spoke positively of how locals could enjoy a break on their own doorsteps through the number of caravan opportunities available.
Running for four days from February 4th, the event is held at the SECC in Glasgow and gives visitors the chance to see the latest product models, alongside experiencing cooking and wine demonstrations and gaining advice on how best to manoeuvre a caravan.
According to the publication, Mr Oliver highlighted that a caravan break could be a wise choice for those who have been left cash strapped as a result of the global economic climate within the last year.
He said: “Scotland has beaches that can contend with some of the world’s top holiday spots. Why travel abroad when you have some extremely beautiful sandy beaches, right here on your door step?
“A staycation can offer low-cost holidaying and caravanning is the best way to explore the great outdoors.”
