Road to the Isles

A 50-mile trail through the rugged Scottish landscape.

Reviewed By jpseddie - Poole, United Kingdom

We did the "Road to the Isles Road Trip" from Fort William all the way and enjoyed it very much. fantastic scenery with mountains rivers and waterfalls all around. Half way point make sure you stop at the Glenfinnan monument and viaduct . For Harry Potter fans the viaduct is the scene from the second movie where the Hogwarts Express caught up with the flying Ford Anglia!. The Glenfinnan Monument has a visitor centre and lots of history surrounding Bonnie Prince Charlie and the views are simply amazing especially from the top looking down on the monument. We finally arrived at Mallaig just as the Jacobite Steam Train ( Hogwarts Express) was leaving ! :o)

Ratagan to Glenelg

Reviewed By sirl0inlr - Glasgow, United Kingdom

Heading to Glenelg we decided to take a diversion along a side road off the single track road. This led along Loch Duich to Ratagan and Letterfearn. The views of the hills and loch were out of this world. Well worth the single track road, which made for quite a challenging drive with hardly any other traffic..

Drumbeg Loop

Reviewed By sandymA8365UJ - Dornoch, United Kingdom

Have been driving round here for most of my life , scenery is world beating , you cannot go fast , roads are narrow and twisting, so you can appreciate the views, take your time, have a local map so that you can see what you are looking at , you will probably decide to come back and visit one of the points you viewed! Loads of different interesting visits to take in.
