1 Day Castles, Widlife & North Coast 500 Explorer

A fantastic North Coast 500 day trip from Inverness featuring Dunrobin Castle, Duncansby Head sea stacks and the iconic signpost at John O’Groats.

Get set for a North Coast 500 day trip from Inverness that hits the far north of Scotland. We roll out of Inverness and make our way to Dunrobin Castle, a grand Highland castle with rooms so fancy you will swear the nobility only just stepped out. Wander the impressive interiors and gardens before we blaze further north.

Next up is the wee village of Brora for a bite to eat, then it is onwards along the rugged coastline. Keep your eyes open for seabirds as we cruise toward John O’Groats, the famous endoftheroad spot that every traveller wants a photo with. Keep an eye out for the cute puffins nesting in little burrows along the coastline. We reach the dramatic sea stacks at Duncansby Head, where cliffs, waves and more wildlife all fight for the spotlight.

On the journey south we swing through the fishing village of Helmsdale, a proper slice of coastal charm, before arriving back into Inverness in the evening with salty hair, big stories and even bigger grins.
