Welcome back to part two of our epic NC500 road trip mini series through the Scottish Highlands. Last week we set off from Inverness, heading across to the west coast and were immediately greeted with the most magnificent landscapes and scenic park ups.
If you haven’t seen it already, you can find it here: • Scotland’s NC500 in a ...
In this week’s episode we reach the North coast and get our socks blown off by how absolutely stunning the beaches are. And we quickly come to the realisation that we are going to be spoilt for choice when it comes to which to visit.
We’re talking powdery white sand and crystal clear water vibes - we honestly never imagined such beaches existed in the UK. But we settle on Clachtoll Beach, then Balnakeil Beach and finally Sango Bay. And to top it off we were blessed with the most surreal warm weather!
But it doesn't last long and before we know it we’re battling with hailstorms and gale force winds. We even have to move the van at 5am for fear we were going to get blown off a cliff!

Love watching your little family. Your potato cakes are called Tattie Scones in Scotland hope you liked that little bit of information. Looking forward to next week.
Thank you. Yeah tattie scones! Can’t believe we said it wrong, think it was a combination of tiredness and trying to describe them for viewers that didn’t know what they were. But we’ll get it right next time 😅❤️
The views are amazing
I never been Scotland but the look like north of Morocco in Tangier Tetouan chefchaoun it’s beautiful 🤩 love it 😍
Yeah very true. When we were in the north of Morocco we really thought it looked like let’s of the UK! 😀❤️
Dunnet head always windy because of the channel between nearby Orkney as well as the join ing of the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean. The golden cliffs in the dis are Orkney and look closer from there or JoG you see the sea stack The Old Man of Hoy!
Oh wow, didn’t realise that at all! They were really stunning to watch as we drove round that bit of coastline 😀
Loved this video, your doing Scotland justice! Was laughing so much when you said potato cake 😂 we call it a tattie scone (Potato scone) haha! I think John o groats is famous because it’s furthest distance between lands end (most westerly southern point) to John o groats (most northerly east point). I think lizzard point is the most southerly point in mainland Britain but there isn’t as much distance between that and dunnet head. Hope I made sense (I could be wrong it’s just my understanding) 🏴✌🏼
Can’t believe I said that, in my defence I was very tired 😅 Bad night’s sleep and all that. That’s probably the reason, hadn’t considered it but it makes complete sense that JOG and Lands end are the two furthest points on the island.
furthest two points on mainland britain. thats why they are famous. not possible to travel further on mainland than between these two points
Just noticed there was a much better answer below. ☺️
I love the north east of Scotland and spent a lot of time up there about 20 years ago. It's wild, ancient, spiritual and has an austere beauty. And it's home to my favourite whisky: Old Pulteney 🥃😋
If you're ever back up there, there's a lovely wee beach at John O'Groats that's made entirely of broken up shells.

...potato cake??? Och, Jamie-lad, tattie scone! (Oh, and re last video, I use Hendersons sous - couldn't get Worcestershire one shop and found that instead - different but still nice; I use it on mashed avocado, as part of salad dressings, on cooked brekkies...) If it is any consolation, that return to winter situation hit the whole UK, so you couldn't have escaped it anywhere! Well done Sara for making that castle run! To hear Ady's voice now is fun too. Congrats on eight years and here's to eighty more - with Love and hugs, YAM xx
Blaming the bad nights sleep for that misspeak 😅 But absolutely stand corrected ☺️ Oh wow, definitely gonna try those uses for Hendo’s, had no idea it was that versatile. On avocado sounds really interesting. We don’t really mind the cold or even the snow, it’s just the grey that gets to us. Ady is getting more and more vocal every day we love it. Hope you’re well ❤️
Excellent record of NC500. Just found you. RUclips does a good job of hiding some channels. 😊
Glad you’re enjoying it! Welcome aboard ❤️
@08:08 ... a delicious "Ranon"? What is that dish, it looks good!? And, happy anniversary for back then 😂
Thank you! Was it the ramen maybe? Noodle soup with added toppings? One of our favourites 😀
@@TheWholeWorldorNothing looked amazing :)
Congratulations for your 8 years anniversary guys
Thank you ☺️
Happy anniversary, beautiful people! From amazing CDMX. You bring me pleasure!
Thank you so much, hope you’re enjoying Mexico City! ❤️❤️
@@TheWholeWorldorNothing I am! 🙏🏼❤️
Happy superspecial anniversay guys!! Love to you all x
Awww...Happy Anniversary to you both on your Scotland road trip in the sun, wind hail and sleet 🎉🎉🎉. That was a pretty cool castle Sarah, and the underground cave too. See y8in the next one 👋👋
Happy Anniversary! Love the cave. Ady seems to really be enjoying the beaches. Looks like you got the short end of the stick Sarah and that wind seems wicked 💨🥶 Nice to see some of James cooking again, looks good!
Thank you ☺️ The cave was really amazing, hard to convey the scale on camera. We’ve been so lucky with the weather, it’s just the location with the wind we think, unavoidable really. Love Scotland so much though ❤️
Hello Sarah & James, long union to you both.
The weather looks wonderfull, so you are happy.
Ady is looking geat, even playing.
Greetings :)
Thank you very much ☺️ The weather is definitely mixed in Scotland but we are so glad for the sunny days we had! ❤️
Woohoo! My husband and I are doing this road trip next month 🙌🏻
Amazing! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do ❤️
Happy anniversary:driving on those roads must be amazing.
Looking forward to visit next year.
Thank you ☺️ The roads are incredible, scenery is off the charts. If you’re able to hire a car when you come then definitely do it ❤️
Huge Happy anniversary to you guys from me. Loved this video as the scenery looks so beautiful. I can't believe how fast the lodger is growing, bless her. The weather looked wonderful too, happy travels.
Thank you very much. We can’t believe how much the lodger is growing either! We’ll be charging rent soon. We got so lucky with the weather! Mainly 😅
Happy anniversary to you both, such a beautiful family ❤
Thank you ☺️❤️
Hi Guys. Just watched part one and two. Your videos are so relaxing and easy to watch. We are hoping to do the nc 500 next February. Ady is so cute. She will be vlogging shortly. Would love to meet you guys at some point. Keep em coming. A&B.x
Thank you, that’s lovely of you to say. Feb is probably a great time to do it, really quiet, no midges, just the weather to contend with. We can’t wait til Ady takes over 🤣 Would definitely be great to catch up somewhere, do you have any plans to head overseas any time soon? ❤️
@The Whole World or Nothing Hi Guys thanks for the reply. We are going to France late August early September after the big picnic. Ferry booked. So looking forward to it. A&B.x
Smoo Cave is one of my favourite places to visited in Scotland. The original gentleman that used to do the tours unfortunately is no longer with us but he had started a dig in search of another chamber which is hidden behind the cave walls at present following some science with some uv dye, its a shame we will never get to see the end of that
Yes it’s amazing. And they’re still digging! The tours just started for the season last month but on the off season they were digging so it seems as though it’s still going ahead. Apparently there are only two of them doing it though so it’s slow work. They showed me the entrance and there’s no way you’d catch me going in that 😅
@@TheWholeWorldorNothing awh really! That's fantastic that they are carrying on his work!! I'm so interested to see where it all leads!
Yeah we didn’t mention it in the video because they said they don’t tell people where the entrance is so that visitors don’t try and get in there. But they’re pretty sure they’re going to find another chamber which will be fascinating!
John o’groats is the most north easterly point. Not sure why that’s any better maybe because lands end is the most south westerly?
Happy anniversary to you both 💕 ❤
Thank you ☺️
John o Groats is the furthest point from Lands End.
👍
ANother cracking video. Thanks a ton. I meant to ask, is it ok to go to any campsite for van chores and refresh services even if u have not booked in advance? And yes Happy Anniversary to both of u 🙂The potato cakes are called potato scones
Thank you 😊 We’d definitely recommend ringing ahead to check whether a campsite will allow you to just use their services and how much it will cost if so. Some flat out refuse so it’s worth a quick call beforehand to check rather than rock up and be disappointed 👍
What beach did you stopover at…. It’s amazing up there xx
Im guessing its not the most Northernly but most NE point so its more of an opposite to Lands End.
That could well explain it. Definitely makes sense now that you’ve said it. Maybe the two points furthest away from each other on the island?
Drove JoG to Land's End on the longest day of the year last year.... 15hr 55. Beat the sunsetting by about 2 hours.
Scotland is a beautiful country. Such diverse and beautiful spots.
Happy Anniversry,,, Scotland needs moroccan sun 🌞
Thank you ☺️ Moroccan sun in Scotland would be amazing 😅
🎂🎂🎂👋❤❤ from Morocco
❤️❤️❤️
Hi, please could you let me know the name of the beach where you saw the Alpacas. Thank you.
Tattie Scone or potato scone
Tattie scone, we stand corrected! A thing of beauty 😀
Fiiiiirst
😀
Hiii can I ask have you just been there? Just wondering what time of year, we are planning this trip next year but unsure of what summer month to do it in
