this easy-to-follow and detailed Scottish Highlands itinerary. It takes in some of the best places on the North Coast 500 route, but also meanders (and slightly detours) just off the official route to find some total gems to explore.
Plus, you’ve got the tasty Kinrara Distillery that’s so close by. Their gin is so good and uses foraged herbs to create their blend.
It’s all quite different to the towering brick castles you tend to see in Great Britain. We love it here.
1.) Inverness
Oh, and don’t forget to head to the Seafood Shack for dinner. Open in the summer months, they have some of the best seafood on the west coast; all of which is cooked fresh to order. We ate so much, here.
Whilst in the area, be sure to drive across to the other side of Loch Torridon and explore the tiny hamlet of Lower Diabaig. We always stop for a tasty, homemade, lunch at Gille Brighde. It’s so good.
Though, always remember that the Scottish Haar (sea fog) can be thick and come in fast on the east coast route. So, be prepared that you might not see too much if that happens.
You can easily visit all three in a day and they’re all perfect stopping spots on your NC500 drive.
Just keep your eyes peeled for the Loch Ness monster before heading back to Inverness!
Along the road (and before you get to the beach), you’ll also find Clashnessie Falls and Clachtoll Beach.
2.) Glenmorangie, Dornoch and Dunrobin Castle
Along the road (and before you get to the beach), you’ll also find Clashnessie Falls and Clachtoll Beach.
9.) Ullapool
Along the road (and before you get to the beach), you’ll also find Clashnessie Falls and Clachtoll Beach.
13.) Bealach na Ba viewpoint
Along the road (and before you get to the beach), you’ll also find Clashnessie Falls and Clachtoll Beach.
Clachtoll Beach is perfect if you want to spend some time alone since this is a little quieter than some of the larger beaches close by. Though, saying that, none are busy!
