Scotland’s ‘lost’ highways and byways

Interesting read, dressing similarly entirely optional.

There’s a GPS link too ( almost hidden!)

I’ve ridden parts of this route and yes it’s the antidote to NC500.

Excellent ride. I have passed through Lairg a few times and also stopped at the Crask Inn but not taken some of the roads mentioned.
It's now on my ( when fit enough ) to do list.

Cheers.

I can recommend The Pier in Lairg for food. One for the ‘to do’ list.

Ha ha. I recall The Pier in Lairg.
I had stopped to chat to another cyclist there and started telling him about my recent tour in Ethiopia. I was quite chuffed with my adventure. He then mentioned he had just returned from a round the world trip!
My bubble was burst!
