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.
