Mile for mile, Scotland probably offers as much beauty, interest and inspiration as any place on the planet. Its distinctive landscapes harbour rare and distinctive wildlife. Its customs range from the unique disciplines of the Highland games to the celebratory addressing of haggis on Burns Night and its golf courses include the oldest and best in the world. Everywhere, you can experience food and drink at its finest, from celebrated whiskys to freshly landed fish.

One way to cram in as much of the Scottish story as possible is to drive the North Coast 500 (NC500), a scenic round tour beginning and ending in Inverness, the ‘capital’ of the Highlands. Visitor sites include Culloden Battlefield and the Bronze Age cemetery complex of Clava Cairns.

The route follows the coastal edges of the northern Highlands, taking in the six regions of Wester Ross, Sutherland, Caithness, Easter Ross, the Black Isle and InvernessShire, providing easy access to attractions from fairy tale castles to harbour towns.

Along the way you can stop off for boat trips, canoeing, horse riding, bagging Munros or spotting dolphins, as you please. The possibilities are unlimited and frequently breathtaking. and include visiting the most northerly village on the mainland, John O’ Groats.
