One of the first easy sections on the whole North Coast 500!

When you get to the bridge, if you are going south, outside of Dingwall, you see signs for Inverness straight ahead. It is tempting to miss the Black Isle as you are so close to the end, but don't as this is a beautiful easy spin to finish around the peninsula.

If going in the other direction, a nice way to warm up the legs before the hills start.

If you go towards the ferry at Cromarty, you will find the scary sounding "Slaughterhouse Café", one of Scotland's secret cafés. A highly recommended wee stop!
