Coldbackie Beach, Sutherland, NC500

Some of the best beaches and views in the world can be found in the far north of Scotland, along and near the Scottish North Coast 500 (NC500).

Coldbackie is a small beach, at the mouth of the Kyle of Tongue, sheltered behind the Ravvit Isles, and is found just before you arrive in Tongue from Bettyhill and Borgie. The beach has stunning white sands, edges with craggy rocks and is bathed in crystal clear turquoise waters, what is not to love!

Take a moment to stop if you can, the viewpoint layby is worth a few minutes - just to soak up the views - whatever the weather!

Thanks Peter, tbh this was the Bank Holiday weekend, forecast was awful, and it was changeable… winds of 20-35 mph, and showers, but between the showers we flew and capture 11 locations in 2 days with the AIR3 and AVATA… Yes, it does look almost tropical, but if we take the time to explore we have some of the most beautiful places in the world within the UK…
