You will travel approximately 220 miles (354 km) on this extensive journey through varied Scottish landscapes. The route begins by following the River Tay westward, then skirts along Loch Tay to reach the village of Killin, known for the expansive Falls of Dochart. This marks the transition point where the landscape shifts, becoming more open and remote as you head toward Crianlarich.
As you continue, you’ll pass through Tyndrum and Bridge of Orchy, both offering multiple stopping points. The scenery steadily changes, leading you into Glencoe, a valley framed by towering mountains. One of the highlights here is the view of Buchaille Etive Mor, a well-known peak that dominates the area. The drive through Glencoe offers dramatic and immersive surroundings, with steep cliffs and natural beauty that create a striking atmosphere.
A short distance north of Glencoe, you’ll find the turnoff for Corran Ferry, a small vehicle ferry crossing Loch Linnhe. This five-minute crossing operates frequently without advance booking, providing a brief yet memorable experience. Once across, you enter the Sunart Peninsula, which features lush Atlantic oakwoods on the outskirts of the village of Strontian. This small community acts as a central point on the peninsula and is noted for its peaceful and wooded environment.
Continuing onward, you’ll reach Salen and then travel along twisting single-track roads through the Moidart region. The route concludes at the Lochailort crossroads. From here head towards Fort William, the road takes you north through Spean Bridge and into the Monadhliath mountains before connecting with the A9 near Dalwhinnie. The final leg is a half-hour drive back down the A9 to Pitlochry.
This drive offers a blend of rugged mountains, serene lochs, and remote woodlands, giving you exposure to some of Scotland's varied environments. The journey includes opportunities for short stops, scenic ferry rides, and quiet road sections, making it ideal for those seeking both adventure and tranquility.
