Exploring the North Coast 500: Your Ultimate Road Trip Guide

Embark on an unforgettable journey along Scotland's iconic North Coast 500. This 516-mile scenic route around the north coast of Scotland is a must for any road trip enthusiast. Starting and ending at Inverness Castle, the NC500 takes you through breathtaking landscapes, charming villages, and historical sites.

Key highlights include the stunning beaches of Achmelvich and Clachtoll, the dramatic cliffs of Cape Wrath, and the majestic mountains of Assynt. Make sure to plan your stops for local food, accommodation, and fuel, as services can be sparse in some areas.

For your Scotland Rentals vehicle, consider a comfortable SUV for navigating the winding roads, or a spacious van if you're carrying extra gear for outdoor activities. Always check weather conditions, especially during autumn and winter, and drive carefully on single-track roads.
