🔺Attention
🔸The best time to travel on the NC500 is in spring and summer when the temperature is higher and the road conditions are better. However, there are often strong winds on the coast of the highlands throughout the year, so it is recommended to bring well-fitting outdoor clothing such as raincoats and windbreakers. 🧥
Autumn and winter seasons: more rain, unsafe driving after snowfall!
🔸Checking the vehicle before departure is also essential!
🔸Carry common emergency equipment: emergency power supply, fire extinguisher 🧯, spare tire.
The fascinating scenery created by the huge altitude drop, especially the towering peaks on both sides of the road, standing like two gates. ⛰ Don't miss it if you like self-driving travel~
Edinburgh, UK
Nice cruise trip. The water is black and there is a canal. Many souvenirs shops with cute Nessies.
The famous Loch Ness Monster is rumored to be here. Those who are lucky enough to photograph the monster can earn £20,000. Besides, it looks like a quiet and peaceful town. Three or three tourists are neatly moored. The boats are moored everywhere. The hare will point to the west side of the sunset. Augustus Fort, with street lights on in the evening, is walking here, calm as the water of Loch Ness.

Self-driving from Edinburgh, about four hours to reach Loch Ness. Loch Ness is quite big, it is recommended to travel along the east side of the lake, the signal there is super poor, be sure to download Google's offline map in advance, otherwise it is easy to get lost 2. Figure 2 is the map of the entire Loch Ness. The best viewing photo spot on the west side is urquhart castle, an old castle, open from 9 am to 5 pm. Figure 3 was taken here. 3. The best point on the east side is in dores. Search directly with Google Maps. There is a beach with Loch Ness log0. It is very suitable for taking pictures and punching in. There is also an Internet celebrity restaurant, but it is not open during the epidemic. Figure 1 is in dores
If you like exploring, take a cruise boat to find the Loch Ness monster. The owner's Scottish English really doesn't understand. Fortunately, the color numbers on the screen can guess the approximation. It seems that the thermal geology detector in the whole lake area will change the color parameters if it meets a small monster. Are there any water monsters? Yes. Black and black Xiaomengmeng can take photos. In fact, as soon as the glass pattern got on board, I found out that it was a crazy shoot before other tourists did not notice it. Sure enough, the captain rolled it out in a grand way. Obviously, the authorities also felt that they could not disappoint the tourists.
