## Itinerary

### Day 1: Inverness - North Coast 500 - Ullapool

Set off from Inverness and begin your journey on Scotland's ' Route 66 '. It's an epic drive with loads to squeeze in. Just make sure you have plenty of space on your camera. Heading for Ullapool , we spend the first day weaving through the North Coast 500 's winding roads. Your driver-guide will take you to towering mountains, banks of shimmering lochs, and the shores of beautiful beaches. We reach the scenic port town of Ullapool in the late afternoon. * From November to March, Applecross may be inaccessible due to bad weather and daylight timings.

### Day 2: Ullapool - Thurso

Today, the scenery gets progressively more beautiful, rocky, and mountainous. As you travel north, your driver-guide will take you to some of the most stunning sights in Scotland. Your itinerary depends on the weather and your guide's expert tips, but you may have a chance to venture into the deep Smoo Cave , wander the ruins of Ardvreck Castle , and gaze at gorgeous white beaches. You stop for lunch in a Highland village and spend the evening in Thurso , the most northerly town on the British mainland.

### Day 3: Thurso - Girnigeo Castle - North Coast 500 - Dunrobin Castle - Inverness

Today you get plenty of time off the coach to explore cosy fishing villages, epic cliffs, and ancient Neolithic sights. Your driver takes you to the northernmost point of mainland Great Britain where you might spot the Orkney Isles on the horizon. Perched on the windswept cliff, Girnigeo Castle is your next stop. The location of this ruin is as dramatic as its history. Walk along this wild coast and listen to the chilling tales before you continue on the epic North Coast 500 route. Travelling southwards, you enjoy the green valleys and sea views on the way to Dunrobin Castle . You have time to take a photo of the stately home before you drive along the coast and through land once inhabited by the Picts and Vikings. Finally, we arrive in Inverness in the early evening.
