Scotland’s greatest road trip combined with the wild beauty of Wester Ross and the mountain heart of the Central Highlands – seven days that take in the very best of the Scottish north.

Approx. 600–750 miles. Allow 7 days / 6 nights.

• Bealach na Bà – Scotland’s most dramatic mountain pass
• Applecross Peninsula and Wester Ross coastline
• Durness, Cape Wrath and the far north coast
• John o’ Groats and Duncansby Head stacks
• Cairngorms National Park on the return south
• Torridon mountains – Beinn Eighe and Liathach

• Inverness
• Torridon & Applecross
• Ullapool
• Kylesku
• Durness
• John o’ Groats
• Dornoch
• Aviemore & Cairngorms

Seven nights allows a superb mix of wild and formal camping. Ceannabeinne Beach at Durness, Achmelvich Bay in Assynt and the Cairngorms forest edge are among the finest overnight spots in Scotland. Book formal sites in advance for July–August.

• Allow two full days on the west coast of the NC500 – it deserves it
• The Kylesku Bridge viewpoint is one of Scotland’s most photographed spots
• Stock up on supplies in Ullapool before heading north – shops become sparse
• Break the return south in Aviemore for a Cairngorms forest walk

June to September. May offers exceptional long days and relatively few midges. Autumn (September–October) brings fewer crowds and spectacular colour in the Cairngorms.
