About Brora Service Station
Brora is a small coastal town in Sutherland with a pleasant beach and a fascinating industrial heritage — it was home to one of Scotland's last coal mines and a woollen mill that still operates today. The service station on the main road is the fuel point for this section of the eastern NC500, and it's worth combining your stop with a short walk along Brora's sandy beach or a coffee in the town.

🚐 Motorhome Tip
Don't rely on Sunday opening times — call ahead in winter. The stretch from Brora north toward Helmsdale has no fuel, so don't skip this stop.

⚠️ NC500 Fuel Warning: Fuel stations on the North Coast 500 can be very far apart, especially on the west and north coasts. Some stretches exceed 50 miles with no fuel available. Many stations close early and are not open on Sundays. Always fill up when you can — do not wait until the low-fuel warning light appears.
