Please note that the sequence and length of the stops can change if the weather is unfavourable. I try to keep you dry if possible, but it is Scotland!
A 300 mile circuit along one of the most beautiful and rugged scenery along the Western Ross coast. Down the Great Glen and out the Parliament Road to Kyle of Lochalsh.
