Former Top Gear star Richard Hammond has been spotted touring the Scottish Highlands on a motorbike.
The TV presenter was pictured at several locations in the north of Scotland over the weekend as he travelled with a group of fellow motorcyclists.
Hammond, 56, called in at The Clubhouse at Ullapool Golf Club on Saturday, where he posed for a photograph during his stop in the Highland village.
The golf course sits on the shores of Loch Broom and directly on the North Coast 500 route, making it a popular stopping point for people touring the Highlands.
Hammond and the group were also spotted around 45 miles away at Munro’s Nurseries at North Kessock, near Inverness, where they stopped for lunch.
Staff at the family-run garden centre and coffee shop shared a photograph of the unexpected visitors.
They said: “Today Richard Hammond and a delightful bunch of motorcyclists popped in for a spot of lunch.”
Munro’s Nurseries has been run by the Munro family since Colin and Rhona Munro bought the site at Bogallan in 2001. The business now includes a garden centre, shop and coffee shop.
The presenter became one of the best-known faces on British television during his years hosting Top Gear alongside Jeremy Clarkson and James May.
He joined the BBC motoring show in 2002 and later reunited with Clarkson and May for Amazon’s The Grand Tour.
The trio brought their run together to an end with The Grand Tour: One for the Road in 2024, although Hammond has continued making motoring programmes and online content.
His Highlands trip comes days after he marked the 20th anniversary of the near-fatal crash he suffered while filming Top Gear.
Hammond was seriously injured on 20 September 2006 when the jet-powered Vampire dragster he was driving crashed at Elvington airfield near York at more than 300mph.
Hammond recovered from the accident and subsequently returned to Top Gear, remaining with the programme until Clarkson, Hammond and May left the BBC show in 2015.
He currently fronts Richard Hammond’s Workshop, which follows his classic car restoration business The Smallest Cog.
