So this is it, the reason we bought the camper van.....a 12 night trip around the Scottish Highlands. We planned to take the route known as the NC500 (North Coast 500) which starts at Inverness and heads West, follows the West Coast up to Durness, then the North Coast road East to John O'Groats and …

When we have taken him to other places it has always been with the support of another dog.... that was until recently …
