About this itinerary

Overview

The Scottish Highlands offer one of the most dramatic road trips in Europe. The North Coast 500 (NC500) — nicknamed 'Scotland's Route 66' — follows 500 miles of wild coastline, vertiginous cliffs and dark lochs. By van, you can camp freely thanks to the legal wild camping right in Scotland.
