Driving Scotland's Legendary 516-Mile Coastal Loop
The North Coast 500 is rightfully celebrated as one of the world's most spectacular coastal road trips. From the dramatic sea cliffs of Caithness to the turquoise bays of Wester Ross and the wild peaks of Assynt, exploring the route in a breathable luxury bell tent is the purest way to connect with the landscape.
Highlights Along the Route
- Wester Ross (Applecross & Bealach na Bà): Dramatic mountain pass driving leading to sheltered sea lochs and fresh langoustine dinners.
- Assynt & Achmelvich: Crystal turquoise waters reminiscent of the Caribbean, framed by prehistoric Torridonian sandstone mountains like Suilven and Stac Pollaidh.
- Sutherland & Durness: Wild, sweeping moors and immense limestone sea caves like Smoo Cave.
