Book overview

Experience Scotland's greatest road trip with North Coast 500, published in association with (c) North Coast 500 Ltd.

Driving the North Coast 500? Good choice. Winding through Scotland's northern Highlands, this unforgettable route is one of the UK's greatest road trips. But driving it isn't about racing from one stop to the next - it's about slowing down, looking beyond the obvious and experiencing the place as it really is.

North Coast 500 helps you do just that. Written by Scotland expert Rachel Laidler, this refreshingly honest guide takes you beyond the road and into the heart of the Highlands. It's packed with local insights, lesser-known detours and must-do experiences that support the communities you'll pass through, like hiking through the cinematic mountains of Assynt and Torridon; sipping on whiskey at the centuries-old Balblair distillery; and taking a sustainable fishing trip with Ian and his plucky dog Dubh.
