The road has recently been fully ‘doubled’ for the full length of its 42 miles and won the prestigious Saltire Award for Civil Engineering in the Environmental category. The road goes through several villages including Glenfinnan, Lochailort, Arisaig and Morar. The road is commonly regarded as being one of the most beautiful and scenic in the country. Starting at the foot of the UK’s highest mountain Ben Nevis, the route goes west past the world famous GlenFinnan Monument, a monument to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite uprising of 1745-46. The National Trust for Scotland have a Visitor Centre there which tells the story of the Jacobites and this important period in Scottish history. The road continues towards Mallaig and passes through some of the most stunning and breath taking scenery in the world – from mountains to glens, miles of golden sands to views to the Isles of Rum, Eigg, Muck, and Skye the road is rightly famed for its outstanding beauty.
