With many Scots - and non-Scots - rediscovering everything Scotland has to offer over the past few years, it's become a must-visit destination for many.
One way of combining the unspoilt beaches, rugged coastlines, stunning scenery, wonderful food and drink and of course that famous Scottish welcome is to embark on Scotland's answer to route 66, the NC500.
The breathtaking route runs around Scotland's wild northern coast and takes in both the east and west coastlines, as well as the Highland capital of Inverness.
