What it costs a family of four

Free

No admission charge for anyone. Parking or transport may still cost.

What to know

FREE. A 516-mile loop from Inverness around the top of Scotland, invented as a marketing route in 2015 and wildly successful - to the point that the single-track roads, the fuel stations and the local patience are all under strain. Allow five days minimum; people try it in two and it goes badly.

When to go

The planner warns of wet in January, October, November, December. Outside those months it says nothing, which is the point — a warning that fires every day is one nobody reads.
