I am a mother of 4 small boys aged 11, 8 and 5 years old twins. We live in the most Northerly part of Scotland, and have been known to travel great distances to go on holiday. This year, however, we decided to stay a bit closer to home and drive the new coastal road, the NC500. In a bid to see what the route has to offer for families. My boys were duly packed into our old van and off we went.
