Scotland (Highlands, Orkney & North Coast 500)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Scotland's Highlands, Orkney, and North Coast 500 rank among Europe's most dramatic wilderness destinations. The North Coast 500 — a 516-mile scenic driving route looping around the northern Highlands — draws road-trippers past sea lochs, rugged moorland, white-sand beaches, and ancient castles. Orkney, an archipelago off the far northern tip of Scotland, adds a layer of Neolithic history with sites like Skara Brae and the Ring of Brodgar, alongside dramatic coastal cliffs and rich birdlife. Travellers come for wild camping, hiking, sea kayaking, whisky distillery visits, and some of the most jaw-dropping, crowd-free landscapes in the British Isles.
