FAQs

What should I expect for entertainment?
Whiskey distillery tours, an off-roading experience, falconry, sightseeing, short hikes, and more are all in the cards.
Beyond flights, what else do I need to book?
The car and any extra nights that you plan to stay in Scotland will need to be booked by you. Pistondrift will provide guidance on the best place to hire your car (they call it “car hire” in the UK). It’s recommended to rent something small, but a mid-size sedan (like a Jaguar XF) would be acceptable. Scotland’s roads are small, tight, and shared with lorries (trucks).
What is the North Coast 500?
The North Coast 500 is one of the top 5 coastal routes in the entire world. It was designated in 2015 as a way of increasing tourism but the route to circumnavigate Northern Scotland has been a favorite for decades.
