The A99
The A99 follows the east coast of Caithness from Latheron, where it leaves the A9, though the town of Wick to John o' Groats at the north-east corner of the Highlands. The road is a trunk road between Latheron and Wick. It was part of the A9 until 1997, when the A9 was re-routed along what had been the A895-A882 link between Latheron and Thurso.
The A99 forms part of the North Coast 500 (NC500) which was launched in 2015. NC500 is a 516-mile scenic route around the north coast of Scotland, starting and ending at Inverness Castle,
