Discover the
North Coast 500

Shieldaig Bay, heading into Badachro Bay with the Torridon hills behind.

This view is a staple of the 1-hour, 2-hour and evening boat trips run by @puffinalonggairloch.

We know many people come to the Highlands with places to see and miles to cover. But sometimes, the best thing you can do is slow down for a while.

Step off the rat race. Pause the NC500 pace.

Take a boat trip.

Breathe in the sea air, enjoy the scenery, and let them do the rest.

Fancy slowing down for an hour or two? You`ll find them at Gairloch Harbour. Book online or pop into their booking office halfway along the harbour front.

Carved into the Caithness cliffs, Whaligoe Steps lead down to a sheltered natural harbour with a rich fishing heritage. 👣🌊

With around 365 stone steps descending to the sea, this remarkable route once gave local fishing communities access to the harbour and a way to land their catches.

Today, Whaligoe Steps offer a unique glimpse into Scotland’s coastal past and remain one of the unforgettable stops along the North Coast 500.
