The North Coast 500 has been named Britain's favourite road trip in a new survey.
A study of more than 2,000 people named the route, which starts in Inverness and takes in the north of Scotland, as the best in the country ahead of Wales' coastal way and the Jurassic Coast from Poole to Lyme Regis.
The survey was carried out by car brand Dacia, which has released a line of scented air fresheners to capture the essence of the top 10 road trips in the UK.
The NC500 one is named 'Scent-sational Highlands ' and is described as "scent of earth and sea with pine trees and wild raspberries, with subtle notes of haggis", with the air fresheners free to collect at Dacia outlets across the country.
Sarah McCartney of 4160 Tuesdays said: “Scents are the perfect way to encapsulate the beauty of Britain. No matter where you are, the smell of these air fresheners will instantly transport Brits to the beautiful road trip locations our nation has to offer.”
Luke Broad, Dacia UK Brand Director, said: “The UK is the ultimate playground for adventurous motorists. There’s nothing quite like the refreshing aroma of the rolling hills, coastal wind and, er, cheese, to get you in the road trip mindset.
"Our custom range of air fresheners bring the essence of Great Britain's favourite destinations right into your car. It’s Dacia’s take on the ‘new car smell’.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
