The North Highlands has become one of the most iconic destinations in Scotland because of the NC500.  Why not take the Road That Never Was, That Suddenly Appeared, As If By Magic!

 

Taking the NC500 route helps you to discover the best the Highlands has to offer, from magical and mystical castles, sample amazing local produce, with fresh from the sea and land specialties, the wonderful distilleries and breweries or take to the water on an exhilarating wildlife safari. The North Coast 500 offers a truly unique touring experience, quite unlike anywhere else in the world and many of those who have done it have said it was life-changing for them. 

​

Bringing together a route of just over 500 miles of stunning coastal scenery, the North Coast 500, naturally follows the main roads along the coastal edges of the North Highlands of Scotland, taking in the regions of Wester Ross, Sutherland, Caithness, Easter Ross, the Black Isle and Inverness-Shire.

​

The route begins and ends in Inverness at Inverness Castle which, perched on top of a hill, is the perfect starting point to the route and offers unparalleled views from its viewing tower over the capital city of the Highlands. The NC500 was launched only 4 years ago, yet in that time, it has reached a global audience of over 3.3 billion and ranked by so many independent sources as the best road trip on the planet.

Come and see for yourself.  Come and see why it is awe-inspiring.  Come and see what the world is talking about!
