The North Coast 500

We have taken the popular North Coast 500 route and worked our own magic on it. The enhanced 500 mile route starts in the northern city of Inverness via the Cairngorms, and then into the far North up to Cape Wrath. You'll venture to some of the most wild coastal points of Europe, taking in ancient castles & mystical lochs. The trail then weaves along the island dotted west coast, to the impossibly pretty Applecross, and the infamous  

Bealach na Bà pass.

Historic fishing villages, tiny pubs offering the freshest local produce, quiet beaches and majestic cliffs all encapsulate the sensational wild coastal scenery.
