Corran Ferry to Fort William
OK so the A82 from Dumbarton up to Fort William is one of the most scenic roads in Scotland but the wee detour will add enourmously to your journey. Take the Corran Ferry, just past Onich, 7 miles south of Fort William, over to Ardgour and follow the sign for Strontian. Fabulous scenery, quiet single track roads. Good food at Strontian, Salen Acharacle. You could go the whole hog and turn left at Salen for Ardnamurchan Point, the most Westerly point on the UK mainland. Fantastic beaches at Sana, Ardtoe. Castle Tioram just past Acharacle is worth a visit before they restore it. World class resteraunt at Kinlochmoidart. Epic road from Strontian over to Polloch. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE BEEN ON A ROAD LIKE THIS ****EVER.

A832/890
Garve to Lochcarron
Built with money from the EU to allow the fish lorries to get up and down easier, this is a wonderful full-throttle or gentle cruising road. Starting 1km north of Garve, the A832 gets you warmed up for the main course after the roundabout at Achnasheen. The A890 is beautifully surfaced, sweeping full throttle curves, no trees, great scenery past Fionn Beinn, Moruisg and others. The only hazards are the ubiquitous woolly bollards as our Shetland friend names them and deer crossing. No police, no cameras but plenty of action. The last few miles are single track to allow your pulse to slow down. Can be combined with the Garve-Ullapool road mentioned above for a great day run.
