Drive East North Coast 500 Route A838 Road Sutherland Highlands Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video of part of a road trip drive on East on the North Coast 500 route A838 road on visit to the Sutherland, Highlands. The road runs close to five lochs: Loch Shin, Loch a' Ghriama, Loch Merkland, Loch More and Loch Stack as well as the coastal inlet of the Kyle of Durness. The road loops south to skirt Loch Eriboll, and the Kyle of Tongue Bridge and causeway across the Kyle of Tongue. This is a part of Britain with resonant names that seem to connect with a distant past, ancient regions called Assynt, Sutherland, Wester Ross, Caithness. You can drive mile after mile and see very few other vehicles on the road
