More than 500 miles of breath-taking scenery with the road hugging an eye-catching coastline and winding through thick forests—this road trip isn't the Pacific Coast Highway through the California coast. It's in Scotland’s northern highlands. The North Coast Highway was opened in 2015, but is still an undiscovered treasure. Around 29,000 people drove the route on its first year, compared to the 13 million visitors that the Pacific Coast Highway receives. The road curves through wild open countryside and alongside vast lakes, with hardly another car in sight. Only real explorers can experience the grand beauty of the rural highlands.
