North Coast 500 The Road Trip of a Lifetime – NC500 Guide Book by Robbie Roams

Product Information

Above the beach is the the Golden Eagle Zip Line – the most northely zip line – the Golden Eagle Zip Line– the zip line is weather dependent so opening times vary. There are many of these all around Scotland, and this is one of the better preserved and more easily accessible brochs along the North Coast 500, which we think makes it worth stopping at.

In addition, some of the more remote campsites like that at Achmelvich, don’t have an on-site food option.

For those wishing to camp around the NC500, it is home to numerous awe-inspiring and remote campsites – in some campsites, you’ll feel as though you’re wild camping, although you’ll have all the facilities of a fully maintained camp site. Could you please advice if we would be stretching ourselves to cover Isle of Skye and them embarking on the NC 500 route?

The NC500 route starts with a visit to the City of Inverness, before driving up the east coast of Scotland to thevery top of the UK, spotting dolphins at Channory Point on the Black Isle Peninsula and visiting amazing castles along the way.Travelling in summer in Scotland means midgie – a tiny biting black fly – they are legendary for a reason. It is against the law to use your mobile/cell phone while driving in the UK and the roads you are navigating are going to be tough at times so I would recommend a phone holder attached to your dashboard. Climb up to the Fyrish Monument – one of the NC500’s hidden gems, the view from the Fyrish Monument is well worth the 3-hour round trip walk.
