Ride one of the world’s most spectacular coastal routes on a journey through the wild and remote landscapes of the Scottish Highlands. The North Coast 500 is often described as Scotland’s answer to Route 66 — a 500-mile loop that links rugged coastline, dramatic mountains, and some of the most unspoiled scenery in Europe. You’ll cross some of the Highlands’ most dramatic terrain, including the legendary Bealach na Bà, a climb that rises sharply from sea level in a series of tight switchbacks, before descending into the wild beauty of the west coast. The Thomson Team Difference: Every trip is led by a dedicated Trip Manager and expert ride leaders who ensure every detail is handled – from seamless logistics and expertly led rides to the legendary Thomson ride support.
