White Wisp is a pod-style glamping accommodation located at Highland Gateway Glamping, positioned between the villages of Clackmannan and Kincardine in central Scotland. The unit operates as an adults-only, dog-free accommodation and is designed to accommodate two guests.
It forms part of a broader rural tourism offering in Clackmannanshire, a region that continues to attract visitors seeking short-stay countryside breaks within driving distance of major Scottish cities.
The accommodation includes a self-contained pod with a full-size double bed, private shower room, flushing toilet, kitchenette, and an outdoor deck with a private hot tub.
Utilities such as electric heating, lighting, plug sockets, WiFi, and hot water are provided, reflecting the continued demand for glamping products that blend outdoor settings with hotel-style amenities. The pod is not suitable for children or infants, and visitor access is restricted to registered guests for security and insurance reasons.
White Wisp’s location places it within reach of several established visitor attractions that support year-round demand rather than purely seasonal tourism.
Nearby landmarks include the Falkirk Wheel, completed as part of the Millennium Link project, and The Kelpies at Helix Park, which have become a major draw for domestic and international visitors since their installation.
Historic destinations such as Stirling Castle, Castle Campbell, Doune Castle, and Culross, a preserved 17th-century port village used as a filming location for period television series, including Outlander, are all accessible within a short drive.
Outdoor recreation opportunities in the surrounding area include the Ochil Hills, the Fife Coastal Path, Devilla Forest, Gartmorn Dam Country Park, and Loch Leven. These assets support activity-based tourism across multiple seasons, particularly walking and cycling, which remain strong drivers of occupancy in rural accommodation markets.
Transport connectivity is also notable, with Alloa train station located approximately three miles away and Edinburgh Airport within a 24-mile drive.
For outdoor hospitality professionals, White Wisp reflects several ongoing trends in the sector, including the continued growth of adults-only glamping, the premium placed on private facilities such as en-suite bathrooms and hot tubs, and the importance of proximity to established attractions rather than reliance on on-site programming alone.
The accommodation’s clear guest policies, limited capacity, and focused market positioning illustrate how small-scale units can operate efficiently while maintaining pricing power in competitive rural destinations.
