Our one-day Scottish Highlands driving tour explores an area of unique natural beauty. The 59-mile (95 km) loop begins at the gateway to Scotland’s North Coast, the town of Ullapool. It passes along the shoreline to the fishing village of Lochinver, and winds through the Inverpolly National Nature Reserve on the return route to Ullapool.
This Scottish Highlands self-drive tour takes in magnificent stretches of rugged mountains and coastline. The route brings travelers up close to unspoiled moorlands, glacial lochs, herds of wild stag, and the ruins of Ardvreck Castle. Our Scottish Highlands itinerary includes short hikes of sandstone peaks, walks along rocky beaches, and exploration of the historic villages of the North West Highlands.
We think navigating the open road is the way to see all the best things to do in the Scottish Highlands. Our trip planner is designed to give you all the information you need to set out with confidence. If you have the chance, spend at least one night in the area. We suggest using Ullapool as a base.
