While Ness Castle Lodges may not be directly on the North Coast 500 route, we offer a superb starting or finishing point for your journey along Scotland’s iconic driving adventure. Located just minutes from Inverness, which serves as the official starting point of the NC500, our lodges provide the perfect base to explore this breathtaking route.

The standard route follows an anti-clockwise direction along the A9 before heading west, but we’ve also experienced the beauty of the NC500 in a clockwise direction, allowing for a more personalised journey that aligns with your interests and schedule.

We would be delighted to assist you in planning your North Coast 500 itinerary ahead of your arrival, ensuring you make the most of your Highland adventure.
