    NC500: Ten Years On
    2025/03/11

    Since its inception in 2015, the North Coast 500 has transformed the Highlands—bringing undeniable economic benefits while also raising new challenges.

    This week, we explore both sides of the story.

    David Richardson, Development and Engagement Manager at North Coast 500, shares his insights on how the route has boosted tourism and helped sustain communities in some of Scotland’s most remote areas.

    John Davidson takes us back to 2016, recounting his experience cycling the NC500 in its early days as part of his Active Outdoors series.

    But with success comes growing pains. We'll dive into recent controversies, including the proposed motorhome overnight parking ban in Sutherland, and what’s being done to manage the route’s impact.

    In this podcast episode, Iona MacDonald takes us through why some people are calling the NC500 a 'no-go zone' and what is actively being done to keep this road one to visit.
