The route along the NC500 on Scotland’s West Coast is ever-changing – one minute lush and green then mountainous and rocky, then opening up onto enormous plains and flatlands that stretch for miles.

I had stayed in a small family owned B&B in Lochinver so started exploring the village and enjoying the views out towards the Loch. The wind was getting up and once I discovered Lochinver Church was closed I decided to press on.

My first stop was slightly north of Lochinver in a tiny village called Clashnessie. For such a small place it has two outstanding points of interest – a beautiful golden sandy beach and the spectacular Clashnessie waterfall.

Actually finding Clashnessie waterfall was a bit more difficult than expected – the way there from the beach isn’t obvious and I couldn’t see a signpost near the car park. There are plenty of houses nearby displaying ‘private property’ signs in an attempt to keep the tourists off their land. If you’re planning to seek out Clashnessie falls then hopefully my video will help you get your bearings and provide details of an authorised route to the waterfall.

Next up was a stop at Achmelvich Bay, a popular camping and caravanning site just a few miles south of Clashnessie. It’s close to a hiking area and another Caribbean style beach favoured by windsurfers and water skiers. Although I didn’t stay long it was good to see the area.

With that I was back on the road and heading along some of the NC500’s narrowest and windy lanes towards Ullapool. The road wound its way across the countryside, past the ocean and through forested sections and cattle grids. I passed many villages and hamlets often stopping off to gaze affectionately at the mountains in the distance – in particular Suilven and Stac Pollaidh, the latter I hiked to the top of in a separate video – so stay tuned!

After a terrific day driving through the Scottish highlands on the incredible North Coast 500 I arrived in Ullapool for some dinner and then drove to my accommodation near Loch Glascarnoch. Another terrific day driving the North Coast 500.
