We finished the Cape Wrath Trail and really enjoyed seeing Cape Wrath in the evening when all the tour buses had gone home. We had a nice filling evening meal and loved the newly renovated bunkhouse

If I hadn't researched places to visit on our NC500 tour (and seen a programme on this the week before) we'd have completely missed the steps. Parking is a bit tricky as there are residential homes where the very small car park is and signage to the steps from the road is pretty poor. Having said that finding the steps was well worth it. The 365 steps are a bit tricky in places but the walk down rewarded us with two seals and a pup at the bottom and of course what a wonderful view. We spent over an hour at the bottom of the steps and the weather played ball. Definitely worth seeking out.

Just a small sign and parking on the left hand side of the road (coming from the south) will tip you on something quite special. Going all the way back to the Iron Age, these foundations will give you a glimpse of how settlers lives 2000-3000 years ago. Well worth a quick stop, just be careful crossing the A9!!

Stoer Lighthouse is a fully furnished Self Catering Lighthouse located on Stoer Head, north of Lochinver in Sutherland, North West Scotland. The Lighthouse itself dates from the 1870's, has been recently refurbished to a high standard, and is now comprised of two flats each with 2 twin bedrooms, well appointed kitchen, bathroom and lounge.

A fantastic campsite on one of the most beautiful parts of the NC500. We've stayed here twice and love the facilities and friendly atmosphere at the campsite, just behind the fantastic beaches with lovely walks. Can be busy, so book!

We approached the cairns from the A882 near Watten, and really enjoyed the drive, around 15 minutes, past Strath to Camster. There is a nearby wind farm and forest, and lots of plants and wildlife in the area, which we found beautiful. We parked up at the roadside and enjoyed reading about and visiting each of the cairns. Some were wet underfoot to crawl into, but on a dry day with waterproof trousers or similar, I would like to return to view inside. I did enter one of the passages in the long cairn as this was dryer and less daunting. If you enjoy natural spiritual places, the cairns are well worth a visit. If you continue the drive south towards Lybster, you are also in close proximity to the Waterlines Museum for a crab sandwich, The Hill O’Many Stanes and Whaligoe Steps, for other ideas to see and do. With an hour or two on a nice day, this is an enjoyable drive and visit.
