Scotland North Coast 500 - dream drive
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 05. 2018
- Join me on my trip around the North Coast 500 in Spring 2018, starting the NC500 from Inverness and going clockwise.
Scotland never fails to take my breath away with beautiful views around the next corner.
There is a little NC500 route map overlay in the bottom left corner, which gives a rough indication of each location.
If you do the NC500, please drive responsibly, be a courteous driver and leave no trace but footprints.
Thanks to Peter Wilkie for the intro gfx

Beautiful video! I love the map graphic in the corner.
thanks Rachel
I’m here! Beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for sharing.
I'm cycling this route in 2023. You don't know how inspirational this video has been. Thank you.
enjoy the scenery
Planning on doing this early next year, can’t wait. I feel so lucky living in such a breathtakingly beautiful country. Thanks for sharing another fantastic video. All of your videos are amazing
Oh yesss. Love the breathtaking landscape and the kind people and especially the Pubs. 86 days to go and I'll be back in my beloved SCOTLAND. Kind regards from Germany
Did the NC500 last year on my motorbike, awesome trip, this video just brought back all the memories! Great video!
I've spent 10 years in Scotland. Stunning people, stunning country. That clip reminds me all those fantastic memories. Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant filming of stunning scenery that makes me yearn for my own trip in June 2019. Thank you so much for posting.
cheers Kenneth, enjoy your trip in June
Love the country and love the people in Scotland, makes me cry seeing this video and knowing it won't be anytime soon that I can visit Scotland again. Thx 4 sharing!
Glad you enjoyed the wee trip Mark
That's a really great video. I like the way you've put the map in the bottom corner so we can actually see what part of the nc500 the videos came from. Massive 👍🏼 for me.
So peaceful. Just discovered NC 500 today. Have been binge watching vlogs. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful scenery and this is definitely on my bucket list one I retire and get my Landrover !, lovely well put together video, thank you
Ty so much for having the map constantly, it's genial!!!!!
And the music synchronized with the pictures, it's neat!ty🤸😀👍👍👍
Wow! what an amazing video. I love driving and driven the Alps and Pyrenees many times but everyone tells me to go to Scotland. After watching your lovely video Mo I now know I definitely must go to Scotland.
Thank you for making and posting this fantastic video , stunning footage and information to act upon , just what I was looking for 👍
A truly excellent video, with a good representation of where each shot is, in the graphic map alongside.
Breathtakingly beautiful! Thanks for posting.
Ahh. Those single-lane roads in Scotland. Stunning video. Simply stunning!
glad you enjoyed it
The music on this with the beautiful scenery gave me goosebumps! Amazing video and well put together 😀
Mikaela glad you enjoyed the scenery and music
Wry well done. At the present moment I’m taking a short break along the NC500 - first time here. The landscapes here are mind-bending, the people are the epitome of hospitable. The weather changes every ten minutes from Spring to Summer to Autumn. It’s absolutely brilliant . . .
thanks, the views and the weather sure sound like Scotland :)
Another great video of what is without question the Jewel of Europe, Mo. Thanks for posting.
thanks Rosa
Indeed, this captures the magnificent roads of the 500. I have not seen another video that captures this.
Sury this is the last place in the UK were you can enjoy driving/riding without being made to feel guilty and a criminal just for enjoying that simple fact that you enjoy driving.
Thank you for the video.
thanks
Lol. In what delusional way do you feel guilty or criminal for driving?
The driving etiquette there is amazing. You can have someone going the speed limit, maybe even more and they'll see you and know you wanna go faster so they indicate left and either pull over or slow down when you pass so you can go off over 100 making your tyres go bald it's great
@Im wearing tights that I borrowed from your mum. How so?
Absolutely brilliant filming that captures the magnificent scenery superbly well which has whetted my appetite to drive the NC 500 next summer.
cheers Kenneth
Great video. Music, filming and graphic top notch. Very relaxing to watch, thanks!
cheers John
THIS MADE ME SMILE THANK YOU THE BEAUTY OF CREATSION.
Fantastic footage of a fantastic part of the country. Thanks for sharing
I've done that whole run in my works van about 3 time last year but doing it on my motorbike with my two sons this Easter
I'm afraid to drive on the left side but I would like to go to Scotland on the motorcycle. Grtz from Belgium
@@dannyvandenbranden4845 I done it on my motorbike with my two sons who also have motorbikes, we come from Glasgow so it was over 800 miles in 4 days, it's awesome you should try it
Not long to go now then. Best of luck to you. Ride safe.
keith marshall Sounds fun!
Plan to hire a caravan and drive this route with my family this early dec,hopefully it won't snow as i never drive in winter before.
Absolutely fantastic and thank you so much for sharing.
Really well put together. The map in the corner was a nice touch
Thank you Mo Thomson, nicely done and inspirational, can't wait to see it ourselves.
Really well presented with the location graphic. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video, stunning scenery and weather. Planning on driving it this year.
Lovely video. We love Scotland so much. We were up there three times the end of last year. Can't wait to go back.
That was the best bike ride of my life .
Brilliant video. Great idea with the snippets and the map location
Has to be the best NC500 camera work I've seen so far. 👏👏👏
thanks John, I tried to get some decent footage :)
That was fab, and I liked that I could see on the map where I was I carn't wait to see this lovely country for myself x
Wow this is really a dream journey to everyone with such a beautiful scenery down the road, thanks for a great adventure
glad you enjoyed it
Bravo, good to see the map so one can better understand where it is !
Just fabulous. Going back this year for 5 days on motorcycle can't wait.
Hope you read this, I've just spotted this and I fancy doing it, I ride a 20 year old Honda firestorm problem is a full tank of fuel will only last approx 100 miles, how's the route for fuel stations please
Love the music with the magic landscape... from Portugal!
Stunning! Can’t wait to get back up there 👌🏼
From one Thomson to another....”Well done!!! A fantastic video. The family is proud of you!!!!” I’ve just completed most of the 500 and the scenery is truly fantastic especially with the yellow of the Scotch Broom. I now intend to return in September to complete the 500 and see the countryside bathed in purple heather. Europe’s last true gloriously beautiful wilderness.
cheers Ian, hope you had a nice time around the 500, it's great to take time doing it all
Fantastic video and I recognise quite a lot of it. Brilliant video and very relaxing.
glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful. Thank you ! I have never been anywhere more beautiful. When I am up there I could just drive all day. Now that I have reasonable camera I have started making films like this.
Breath taking views and stunning edit with the map as well.
So much memories ... thank you so much for the trip !
And this map thing : Great !
Beautiful country and people. Always in my heart.
This video brought tears to my eyes! I have to save money to visit these places... I just have to...
glad you enjoyed the video
Just wow, Love Scotland, video so calm and beautiful sticked here for all 3:54..well done !
Looks beautiful we can't wait to do this road trip!
Beautifully done! Love the summary of the route and especially the map for reference. I drove it last summer and had an absolutely amazing time. I'm in the midst of posting some videos but my driving clips are nowhere near this quality.
what a beautifully made video and very educational how you have shown the places on the coastal map , ThanQ
Glad you enjoyed it Simon
Very nice idea with the little map and the current position!
I did this drive in the autumn of 2014. I picked up the car in Glasgow, and 16 days later dropped it off at Gatwick. Spectacular scenery,especially western Scotland.
Great video! I'm doing the trip in May but driving the other way round over the course of 8 nights. Taking my time for photography spots. Cannot wait!
Fab video and soothing music ,wished I knew the tune I watch it to chill out after a hard day.simply beautifull.
Hi Simon, it's a track from Epidemic sounds called "The sky is a choir" by Polar Nights
Just WOW, I'm speechless till now I thought Wales was the prettiest place in UK.Thanks for this video it's awesome!
glad you enjoyed it Kris
Kris full of sheep molesters
Love the road to applecross, love my Scottish road trip looking forward to going back this year
Thank you for that video, you've done it justice in the way you've done that. Brilliant
thanks, glad you enjoyed the road side view :)
...I did this route often working as a lineman for a well-known communication company! Seeing it beautifully done in your vlog still takes my breath away! SAOR ALBA 🏴
What a nice patch to be driving and working at the same time :)
Stunning views, what amazing countryside :)
A beautiful video with beautiful music
Thank

Brilliant. Perfect video to tempt and persuade us. Done. 🎉
Beautifully set video. One of the best I have seen
thanks Muhammad, glad you enjoyed watching it
@@MoThomson enjoyment is understatement. I planned my entire trip based on your video. It is work of art. The editing, music and everything is spot on. Very well done.
Thanks for the video - enjoyable to watch!
I did it, took some great photos but couldnt get a good video so this is great because I can watch this and remember these places and views and how stunned I was
Well done on the editing and quality. Well worth the effort. Hoping to do it myself this summer.
Beautifully put together
thanks Kirsten
Scotland looks a very beautiful Country. You did a super job 👍 with this video. Well done 👍
thanks, glad you enjoyed the wee drive
Really good video footage and nice idea having the map showing the location. 👍
thanks Scott
You are doing awsome, and a great inspiration for begginers like us 👍🏻
The Scottish Highland are one of my top places, in the world.
An amazing place , I can't wait to get driving here soon.
Very nice relaxing video of Scotland
Fantastic video... We're doing it in 2021... Can't wait.
Looks fabulous. I'm hoping to do a road trip in Scotland in 2020. That looks like a great route.
Stunning video and great background music well done .
glad you enjoyed it, it's a track from Epidemic sounds called "The sky is a choir" by Polar Nights
Excellent little video.
Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it Andy
Such a great video! thanks We have plans to do this drive in May 2021.
Wow! Your videos are inspiring! Inspiring me to head to Scotland asap! Absolutely beautiful :-)
enjoy
cheers mate, that is a truly amazing video
Nice roads and nature with travel music, enjoyed
Excellent video, Mo! I just didn't want it to end! Kindly post the cutting room floor footage...
this is absolutely stunning
cheers
Beautiful! Around every corner there seems to be a lake. I didn't realize Scotland was covered with so much water. There was barely a mile without a body of water on one side or the other. Lots of Vast open uninhabited land in Scotland as well. If I lived there I think I would be moving out to those Vast uninhabited acres of land and starting a huge farm. How great would it be to raise vegetables and animals in all those wide open fields and there would always be plenty of access to water.
Amazing man!............Added to bucket list.
Beautiful video, well filmed and edited. This is on my todo list, seeing this has made me more determined to do it.
cheers Dave, hope you get round it in the future
Just do it mate
Just found your channel.
Brilliant production!
I would love to visit.
Well done!
Cheers from Calgary Canada
cheers Ron
Just beautiful! Well done !
thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Truly stunning
cheers John
Superb montage - music, scenery, editing.
thanks for the kind feedback
One of the most beautiful places on earth!
Looks great Mo, I might follow in your footsteps next year!
cheers Dave, aye, it's a lovely drive, I would recommend going anti-clockwise
Quality photography with well thought out music, a masterclass in video presentation.😁👍
thanks Adrian, really missing not being able to drive around atm
Mo Thomson No worries Mo, Yes, I expect you are, same here.The Scottish 500 is on our to do list, We we’re planning to drive the “Romantic Road” in Germany in June, but that’s history, so, we might try Scotland sooner if at all possible- your videos have provided much inspiration- thank you.😁👍
@@adrianhockey9334 the romantic road sounds cool, some nice weather, great beer and bread and sausages to accompany the German trip with
You have some great footage here, a pleasure to watch.
cheers Steve
