MARY'S HIGHLAND DIARY | DAY 1

What does 15 days exploring the Scottish Highlands and Skye really look like?

Over the next couple of weeks, Celtic Routes is following the diary of Mary Pritchard and her husband Barry, who recently set off on a Scottish self-drive adventure with us.

From historic castles and remote Highland roads to cosy boutique hotels, unexpected encounters and a fair few sheep, their journey captures everything that makes exploring Scotland by car so special.

First stop? Edinburgh.

After arriving in the capital, Mary and Barry dropped their bags at their hotel just off the Royal Mile before heading to the Royal Yacht Britannia. They finished the day with an evening stroll through the city's historic streets.

It's a wonderful start to their Scottish adventure, and there's plenty more to come.

5 NC500 Facts you might not know

1. It’s around 500 miles - The NC500 takes its name from its approximate 500-mile circular route around the north coast of Scotland.

2. It’s home to some spectacular beaches -
From Achmelvich to Sandwood Bay, the Highlands are home to beaches with turquoise waters and white sands that can look surprisingly tropical.

3. You can spot incredible wildlife - Red deer, golden eagles, seals, dolphins and whales can all be found around the Highlands and its coastline.

4. There’s much more than scenery - The route takes you past castles, historic sites, wh**ky distilleries, fishing villages and centuries of Highland heritage.

5.The route crosses some seriously remote landscapes - Parts of the NC500 take you through areas with very few people, making the journey as much about the spaces between the stops as the destinations themselves.

When your journey leads away from the main roads, the Defender 110 offers the perfect balance of comfort and capability. This is the vehicle made for exploring the more remote corners of the Celtic regions, where beauty hides behind hills, down winding tracks, and along dramatic coastal stretches.

What makes the Defender so special?

- Spacious and strong: Room for everything (and everyone), with serious off-road capability.
- Comfort meets grit: Cruise effortlessly along narrow valleys or windswept moorlands.
- Modern tech: Built-in navigation, charging points, and climate control for long days on the road.
- Refined design: Classic Land Rover style, updated for today’s travellers.

Stonehenge may be the UK's most famous Summer Solstice site, but across Scotland, Ireland and Wales lie ancient monuments that are every bit as fascinating.

From the mysterious Callanish Stones in the Outer Hebrides to the prehistoric passage tomb of Newgrange and the remarkable solar alignment of Bryn Celli Ddu on Anglesey, these are places where history, landscape and legend come together.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re reminding ourselves of something simple:

Sometimes the best reset isn’t a wellness app. It’s a winding road, no notifications, fresh sea air, and nowhere to be except the next great stop.

The UK was made to be explored slowly.
