Discover the North Coast 500

A 516-mile route of stunning scenery around the north coast of Scotland, starting and ending at Inverness Castle, linking many features in the north Highlands of Scotland in one touring route.

Scotland's ultimate road trip

Coined as Scotland's answer to the American Route 66, the North Coast 500 driving route takes you across just over 500 miles (516 to be exact) of Scotland's northern coastline.

Stunning coastal scenery, rugged landscapes and a network of small villages, the NC500 gives you the chance to explore some of the country's more remote but distinguishingly charming gems.

Travelling by campervan is an ideal way to explore this route and ensure you always have a bed for the night, as it has become one of the most popular and well travelled roads in recent years.

Happy campers!

Don't take our word for it! Have a look at what our previous customers have to say about Grampian Campervan Hire.

Ian

Father and sons trip, Mount Keen Had an amazing few days in the Mount Keen campervan with my two boys. When we arrived, I was genuinely impressed—every van on-site looked like it had just come straight from the showroom. Ours looked brand new! Mieke and Jan were fantastic to deal with, super friendly, and made the whole booking process effortless, even though it was very last-minute. The van itself was spot-on for what we needed, and we had zero issues the whole trip. A brilliant experience overall—we’ll definitely be booking with them again. Huge thanks to Mieke and Jan!

When I arrived the first thing I noticed was how the vans were all gleaming and clean. Mieke explained all the functions and controls of the campervan so clearly. We will use Grampian Campervan Hire again but would highly recommend them.
