Swiftly to Inverness by air, then take to the North Coast 500: the UK’s most exhilarating defined driving route, amidst the finest Scottish scenery.
The ideal way to experience Scotland’s acclaimed North Coast 500, removing the need to traverse the UK’s length to reach its starting point. Fly in to Inverness, collect a rental car and before you know it you’ll be driving on some of the finest roads in Europe, with stops at welcoming accommodation along the way.
Starting with flights from London to Inverness, then follow the North Coast 500 driving route in a clockwise direction, spending two nights in the picturesque village of Shieldaig, followed by one in Sutherland, two in the northern town of Thurso, and finishing off with two nights in Dornoch.
