PART of Scotland’s NC500 route has been named among the UK’s most scenic drives.
Kylesku Bridge, characterised by its distinctive curved shape, offers breathtaking views over Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin.
The route was picked as one of four by Hankook Tire UK, who said it is definitely one to add to the bucket list.

Opened in 1984, the A-listed structure officially known by its Gaelic name Drochaid a’ Chaolais Chumhaing is one of the many highlights found on the NC500.
The team behind the research also encouraged people to stop at the Kylesku Hotel Restaurant on the shores of Loch Glendhu for a bite to eat.
Managing director of Hankook Tyre UK Chang Yool Han said: “The UK is home to some of the most beautiful scenery, offering plenty of opportunity to escape the daily grind and lose yourself in nature.
“Interestingly, Google searches for ‘scenic drives near me’ have increased more than 5000% in the last 30 days alone, signalling motorists’ enthusiasm for getting out on the road now that summer is almost here.”
Making up the rest of the list of the four scenic drives were the Honister Pass in Cumbria, the Causeway Coastal Route in Northern Ireland and Hope Valley in the Peak District.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
