Scotlands North Coast 500 in a Campervan |This years best staycation?!!

The North Coast 500 is the greatest road trip in Scotland, and this week we head off in search of the best stops along its route in our self converted campervan. We are not sure how many places we have included in this video, but its about 30 minutes of epic scenery, big waterfalls, lochs, historical sites and some wonderful hikes, oh and a story about a polar bears skull, cool!
We have been in Scotland for close to 4 weeks now, if you are looking for inspiration this summer for some grand adventures in the UK, then please do take a look at our other most recent vlogs below, we especially enjoyed the Outer Hebrides.
Watch our Outer Hebrides Vlog - • Outer Hebrides Road Tr...

Watch our Glencoe Vlog - • First family adventure...
This is one of our very favourite videos, we have loved putting it together and the Islands really felt like balm for the soul, especially after such a prolonged lockdown. We hope you also enjoy it.
We are the Newbys, John, Tara, and our two little boys Crusoe and Sawyer. We’re a family who are pursuing an alternative lifestyle, and after two years of full time travel we’ve taken root on an abandoned farm in Northern Portugal which we’re renovating into our dream off-grid homestead. We release new videos every Sunday sharing our story, and we’d love for you to be a part of it with us.

You 2 & the smiley face little man. These videos you made makes me so glad. It`s nice to see that someones have the feel of the place where you are and enjoy of it all. I think you lift the words of "to be human" at the highes level because of kindness to the place you are. I am just an ordinary man , living ,working having calm everyday life. For me these videos feels like you are making some of your derams true. I wish all the best for all to you. I`m not very good in this language so i`ll hope that the text is correct. 🙂

This brought back so many memories! I lived in Scotland for 4 years, and one of my novels (The Cardinal, historical fantasy fiction) is set along Loch Eribol; we spent a few weeks around Durness and Loch Eribol, exploring brochs, souterrains & soaking in the atmosphere to distill it down into the language of the characters in my story (spanning ancient pre-Scotland to modern archeological digs). Did you also make it to Ceannabeinne beach? It's an amazing geological gem, with vertical strata - when the glaciers receded, northern Scotland "popped" upward as it was released from the weight of ice... You also mentioned Moine house; its name likely comes from the Moine Thrust Belt, which is the geological tectonic feature of northern Scotland. This vlog made me quite homesick!❤️

Wow 1 year from Landsend to John O’Groats but what a journey you’ve been on. Not the one you thought you’d go on, took you longer than you thought when you set off but now it really is the beginning of a wonderful long adventure with little Crusoe x

It was indeed a journey even better than the one we thought we would set out on, and just so incredible to have been there a year to the day. Thanks Julie, means a lot to us to have you along for the ride. ❤️ 🚐 💫

How long did it take you to recognise that you could have done with 40 nights not just 4 Kathy to get any sort of a take on the Highlands and North Western Highlands, never mind The Cairngorms or Central Belt? Every year we go, we take longer and longer only to realise that there is even more to see than we had expected. Next year it's Lewis and Harris then Ullapool to Durness. We're allowing 10 days for that.
