NC500

The North Coast 500 is the adventure of a lifetime. As Scotland’s answer to Route 66, the NC500 route takes you on an incredible journey through the breath-taking Scottish Highlands. 

Starting off in Inverness, this road trip will take you along the coastline of the Scottish Highlands. Through the dramatic landscapes of the northwest, where the mountains meet the sea and white sand beaches stretch on for miles. To the wide-ranging scenes of the east where seaside villages are plentiful and historical castles lie between award-winning golf courses. 

The journey might not always be an easy one but if you let it, the NC500 will sweep you away with its jaw dropping beauty, invigorating weather, iconic landscapes, delicious food and drink and, of course, our famous Highland hospitality.

It’s so much more than just a driving route, the NC500 is truly an experience. So, embrace the pace and join us for the journey of a lifetime.
