"Maybe the best road trip in the world"
Conde Nast Traveller, March 2018
​
The North Coast 500 is a fantastic road trip around 500 miles of Scotland's most stunningly beautiful scenery. One of the attractions of the NC500 is visitors can base themselves in one location and explore different parts of the route on each day of their stay: Balblair is perfectly located as a base to experience the NC500 and also some of the fantastic routes that cut across the Northern Highlands.
​
The NC500 is possibly the most successful tourist attraction Scotland has seen since the Loch Ness Monster....

Available to hire, from our modern classic collection on a day basis, explore the beauty of the NC500 from behind the wheel of an icon of the road.
Bentley Continental R
The Continental R is a seminal car in the history of Bentley Motors. Launched in 1991 as the first Bentley for many years that was not just simply a re-badged Rolls Royce. It was the world's most expensive production car at launch. Our example at Balblair is a 1996 model year, boasting almost 400bhp and a huge 550lbs.ft. of torque, delivered at under 2000 rpm, from the Rolls Royce L410 6.75L turbocharged V8. This is a fantastic car to take for a tour of the NC500.
Widely regarded as a modern classic, and becoming highly sought after, the original D2 Audi S8 is a superb performance saloon. Our example is a 2002 model year and features a normally aspirated 4.2L V8 with a peak power delivery of 360bhp. This is one of the last before the introduction of the D3 A8.
