Experience Scotland's answer to Route 66 with everything from fairytale castle ruins to delicious seafood and white beaches

The North Coast 500 road tour is one of the world's most stunning road trips, making it a fantastic choice when hiring a motorhome. With spectacular scenery across the coastline, Scotland's answer to Route 66 has something for everyone! Experience fairytale castle ruins, white beaches, outdoor attractions and adventures, quaint villages, an array of wildlife, delicious seafood and more.

This road trip is a continuation on from the highest part of our Scottish Highlights Road Trip at the Culloden Moor Caravan and Motorhome Club site in Inverness. From Inverness you will head North to Brora, passing Dunrobin Castle and stopping at the Brora Caravan and Motorhome Club Site situated just 300 yards from miles of golden sandy beaches. Dunnet Bay is your second stop and is the perfect base for exploring the Orkney Islands, Thurso and John O’Groats - areas steeped in history and wildlife with breathtaking views. From Dunnet head West with the chance to delve underground into one of the largest sea caves in Britain. Another beautiful site offers a jaw-droppingly beautiful backdrop over the bay and unforgettable outdoor experiences nearby including pony trekking and sea kayaking.
