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, weaves along the island dotted west coast, to the impossibly pretty Applecross, 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.

We had a lot of fun choosing our hotels and lodges. We love to find smaller, non generic locations that have something special about them, be it history, atmosphere, views, fun and caring hosts, or a combination of all those elements. We hope that we have come up with an eclectic mix of memorable locations that you will remember long after your tour is over.
