Glen Affric

[Lowflyer]

Haven't been on this road for a good few many years. Basically it's the A831 from Beauly to Drumnadrochit via Cannich.
One that's probably missed out of most of the "to do " roads up here, but a cracker none the less.
When I say "A" class, there is a fair bit of single track, but some excellent twisties.




A little bit off piste




This is part of a golf course, a small 8 rounder set in beautiful countryside



The area is used for Hydro power, so there are a lot of dams along the way This one is at Kilmorack.

I went via Beauly - Cannich and over the Culnakirk which take you back onto the old A9, brilliant road.
Anyways, just a pointer for some of you to come up and have a blast on some of the least recognised roads up here

Cheers

Just looked that road up on Google Earth and I must give it a go. Usually use the A833 from Drumnadrochit to Beauly when I go to Ullapool. Cheers for the heads up John.

Scotland has fantastic scenery (and Midges) Spain has the same fantastic scenery, relatively no traffic AND sunshine(and flies) You pays your money you takes your choice!!, couple of shots from here in Andalucia.......may help you with your dilema.....nice choice to have though.
