Inverness is the offical starting point to the North Coast 500 route and it's not hard to see why, with plenty of fantastic scenery and attractions such as Inverness Castle. And, while you're there, why not head over to Loch Ness and see if you can spot the elusive Loch Ness Monster?
Shortly after leaving Inverness, you'll arrive in Wester Ross. A truly stunning area of extravagant landscapes, beautiful lochs and winding roads, the main town of Westor Ross in Ullapool is very popular with travellers from all across the world due to its lively atmosphere and friendly locals.
Sutherland makes up a significant portion of the North Coast 500 and is often broken into two sections - north west and east. While the north west features the world-famous beaches of Achmelvich and Clachtoll, the east coast is home to the famous Royal Dornoch Golf Course.
Sitting on the most north-eastern corner of the route, Caithness is known as the home to John O'Groats, but has so much more to offer. You can discover the fascinating heritage of the fishing industry in Wick, or stretch your legs by trying to climb Caithness' biggest mountain, Morven.
As you start to head back down south, you'll encounter Easter Ross, which offers unparalleled views across the waters to Aberdeenshire. And, from the booming oil industry in Invergordon to the world-famous Glenmorangie distillery to Tain, there are no shortage of things to experience.
Between you and the end of the road lies Black Isle, a peninsula surrounded on three sides by water. One of the region's great draws is its pod of resident bottle-nose dolphins, which can often be seen flocking in the Moray Firth, while it is also home to a number of historical treasures.
How better to enjoy the route han with a 300PS 2.0-Litre turbocharged power train under the bonnet? The Jaguar F-Type was made for drives like these, and comes complete with:
with acceleration from 0-60mph is only 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 155mph, the Jaguar F-Type promises fun.
The world-class, innovative and feature-rich infotainment system is now available on every F-Type.
New full-LED headlights and front bumpers give the F-Type a distinctive updated appearance.
