Truly a must for any traveller and no matter how you travel, seeing the scenery of the NC500 is an eye opening experience. Scotland is known for wind, rain and snow etc, but you catch it on a good day and its one you will remember.

Hills as far as the eye can see, covered with stout grass and some rocks peeking out between the grass tufts. A beautiful landscape through which the North Coast Road meanders. Only a few cars get lost in this remote area and it is therefore pleasant to cycle on the road.
