I'm thinking about taking my dog on a road trip in September. Probably heading North and NC 500 in Scotland. Anyone tried this? Tips? Airbnb? I have time so thinking about 4 weeks.

Top tip - don't! It's crammed with motor homes, buses and drivers that don't understand the roads. Tourist infrastructure limited.
Try the SW Scotland route instead. Quieter, less touristy and very beautiful.

Agree with Aveline
It's Midge HQ as well at this time of year. At least wait till September.

Oh. In my imagination it's a peaceful wilderness! Thanks for the tip.

Yes, I am thinking of September. I associate the west with midges so haven't investigated them as yet. I am a midge magnet!

There are numerous videos on YouTube.
Here’s just one.
