Scotland’s North Coast 500—more than just a road trip
👉 Read more here
It’s more than just a scenic loop—it’s a rite of passage for Highland travellers. The North Coast 500 winds past castles, cliffs, beaches, and lochs, wrapping around the very edge of mainland Scotland. You’ll pass ruined crofts, storybook harbours, and roads so quiet you’ll hear your own thoughts.
From Inverness to Applecross, Durness to John o’ Groats, every turn brings a new moment—whether it’s spotting a golden eagle or stumbling on a beach with no footprints but your own. Fill your boots with fish suppers, wild swims, ceilidhs, and coo sightings.

The Eight Cities of Scotland
History, culture, and character—each city tells its own story
From medieval lanes to cutting-edge design, Scotland’s cities are packed with culture and character. Each offers something different—Edinburgh stuns with its historic skyline, while Glasgow buzzes with creativity and music. Dundee has become a hub of innovation, thanks to the striking V&A museum, and Inverness charms with its Highland warmth.
These cities aren’t just stops on a map—they’re full of life. Explore Aberdeen’s granite beauty by the sea, get lost in Perth’s riverside history, or stroll through Stirling’s castle-topped streets. Every city gives you a glimpse of Scotland’s past—and a warm welcome to its present.

Secrets of the Scottish Borders
If you're drawn to Scotland’s epic landscapes and centuries-old tales—but prefer them without the crowds—the Scottish Borders offer a quieter kind of magic. This is a region where ruined abbeys rise from river valleys, castles crown lonely hills, and ancient battlegrounds lie just beyond the hedgerows. The Borders have shaped Scotland’s story for over a thousand years—through wars of independence, clan feuds, and royal alliances—yet remain one of the country’s most underrated treasures.
