It was a lot of fun, Sara. Except for some of the way down Lairig Noe.

Here is yours truly with Elaine at Lairig Noe. Glen Noe and a bit of Loch Etive are in the background in between (and below) us.




Hiking is not the only way down the back side of Lairig Noe:

That's a bit north of A85 on the north side of it - I think? I do know A85 goes into Oban.

That's right, Stevie. And, along the route between Oban and Lochawe is the Pass of Brander where Robert the Bruce foiled the MacDoughals in 1308. But, the actual pass is where the railroad runs rather than the A85, which is below the RR. The rubble from the dig to construct the power plant inside Ben Cruachan was used to build a part of A85 at the base of the mountain.
