Loch Shin Glamping Pods have the privilege of being situated directly in the centre of the NC500 - a beautiful scenic road route that takes you through northern Scotland.

The NC500 is a 516-mile circular route that starts and ends in Inverness, taking in some of the most spectacular scenery that the country has to offer.

The route takes you through the Scottish Highlands, with rugged coastlines, sandy beaches, mountains, and lochs. It passes through charming villages, bustling towns, and historic sites, offering a glimpse of Scotland’s rich history and culture.

The route is suitable for all types of vehicles, from bicycles to motorhomes, and it can be completed in a few days or spread over a week or more. 

WELL SIGNPOSTED

There are plenty of places to stay along the way, from campsites and glamping pods to luxury hotels. The NC500 is also well signposted, making it easy to understand and find your way around.

Some of the highlights of the NC500 route include the stunning beaches of Dornoch and Achmelvich, the wild coastline of the Assynt region, and the imposing mountains of Torridon. You will also pass by historic sites such as the Dunrobin Castle and the Ardvreck Castle ruins.

The route takes you through some of Scotland’s most remote and beautiful landscapes, providing a chance to connect with nature and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Wildlife like deer, eagles and seals are often spotted and many people return home with the same refrain: ‘We never knew Scotland was so beautiful’.

There are a range of outdoor activities for those who prefer a more active holiday with fishing, hiking, kayaking and cycling all on offer.

CRAFT SHOPS

One of the great things about the NC500 is that it’s not just a scenic drive. There are plenty of opportunities to get off the beaten track and explore the local communities and culture too. You can visit craft shops, museums and galleries as well as sample local food and drink and learn about the area’s history and traditions.

The NC500 is a must-do for anyone who loves Scotland’s natural beauty and rich culture. There’s loads of opportunities for adventure and exploration amidst some of the world’s most amazing scenery. 

And of course, the Loch Shin Glamping Pods are the perfect base for your travels.
