The main tourist and commercial artery from Inverness to north west Scotland cuts diagonally across the Highlands and the southern flanks of Ben Wyvis, skirting Loch Garve on its south shore, shortly before reaching the small village of Garve, where the Black Water River runs parallel to the road and it is here, to the north of the village.

The North Coast 500 was launched in March 2015 by the Tourism Project Board of the North Highland Initiative (NHI), in an attempt to work with all aspects of the tourism sector to bring unified benefits to businesses across the route. It was identified that a gap existed in the market within the North Highlands for a tourism offering that included each county of the area (Caithness, Sutherland & Ross-shire) and that the North Coast 500 would address that. The initiative was supported by Visit Scotland and Highlands & Islands Enterprise and proved to be a massive success bringing a massive increase in tourism to the area and a renewed focus on worldwide investment in the region.
