'Must-do' drive in Western Scotland

1) The A82 Inverness past Loch Ness: very nice - DONE

2) but there is a dive that beats it hands down and is arguably even more scenic than the drive thru glencoe

Fort william - kyle of lochalsheith - mallaig (cross by ferry) - skye

Touring skye

Skye (via bridge) - Kyle of Lochalsh

OR,

3) alternatively drive north from fort william then head wesy to kyle of lochalsh

- this is a stunning drive but it just keeps getting better....

Kyle - via Plocton – Loch Carron – Applecross – Torridon – Shieldaig – Diabaig – Kinlochewe – Ullapool/Inverness
round loch carron then head back to the coast towards Torrridon

but leave the 'main' road and take the hill pass to applecross

then hug the coast back to the 'main road'

take the time to drive into shieldaig - there is a cafe that does great ice cream and a pub with a terrace with wonderful views

continue on to torridon where take the time to drive to diabaig and back

then onto kinlochewe and then depending on your time constraints head either to ullapool or inverness

the area from kyle to torridon is wester ross and it is just wonderful

4. Not Yet
   depending on your time and so on another great drive is from fort william south to oban, continue south but take the time to drive across'the bridge over the atlantic' to the isle of seil

then on via the crinan canal to lochgilphead then inveraray and the-rest-and-be=thankful back towards loch lomond
