About this product

Product Information

Travelling anti-clockwise, David M. Addison seeks his kicks on Scotland's equivalent of Route 66. Otherwise known as NC500, the route takes you through five hundred miles of some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery. No wonder it has been voted as one of the world's five most scenic road journeys. There are many mays of exploring the NC500. You can drive it, cycle it, motorbike it or even walk it, even if you are not one of The Proclaimers! And there are as many activities, places of interest and sights to be seen along the way as there are miles. This is a personal account of the author's exploration of the NC500 as well as some detours from it, such as to the Black Isle, Strathpeffer and Dingwall. Whatever your reason or reasons for exploring the NC500 may be, you should read this book before you go, or take it with you as a vade mecum. It will enhance your appreciation of the NC500 as you learn about the history behind the turbulent past of the many castles; hear folk tales, myths and legends connected with the area; become acquainted with the ancient peoples who once lived in this timeless landscape, and read about the lives of more recent heroes such as the good Hugh Miller who met a tragic end and villains such as the notorious Duke of Sutherland, who died in his bed (and may not be quite as bad as he is painted). There are a good number of other characters too of whom you may have never heard: some colourful, some eccentric, some very eccentric. You may not necessarily wish to follow in the author's footsteps in all that he did, but if you read this book you will certainly see the landscape through more informed eyes as you do whatever you want to do en route NC500. Sit in your car and enjoy the scenery for its own sake (and remember you get a different perspective from a different direction, so you may want to come back and do it again to get an alternative point of view!), or get out and explore it at closer quarters - the choice is yours, but this book will complement your experience, whatever you decide.

    Title miss leading

    This book is about 2 people who have completed N500 and telling their tale. Some people will find this book a good read but I felt mislead by the title

    Not quite as expected

    My fault really but this is a massive data dump with sooooo much detail it’s hard to take on board I expected a map with points of interest marked there is no map so without reading the full 333 pages I personally will struggle to use this book

    disappointed with it

    Personally i thought this was expensive for what it is. I will need a microscope to read it. Wish i hadn't wasted my money.

    Great product!!

    This map is great for planning your stops for supplies and fuel. It also details sites of interest such as castles, view points, archeological sites and most importantly distillery’s!! It also indicates roads not suitable for larger motorhomes/ caravans which would get stuck due to tight corners and the narrow single track roads.

    Great storytelling

    Good quality book. But not for travellers looking to find parking or facilities
