Top guide! I just got back from the most amazing trip in Scotland. The maps and tips made everything easy to plan and I discovered hidden beaches and waterfalls I would have never found on my own. and I had an amazing time without the stress of hours of research. Highly recommend and really useful if you want to make the most of the NC500 without spending hours researching online.

We just bought this guide for an upcoming trip and we are already blown away by the amount of information that's in this guide! the itineraries have so much info and it has all the popular sights (and so many more) that we want to see. The travel tips have so many things we didn't even know about. So much research must have gone into it, if you're thinking of buying it, just do it! We can't wait to use it to plan. Thank you!
