DashCam Footage from The Road to the Isles: Fort William to Mallaig, Scotland (A830)

Рет қаралды 39,907

Күн бұрын

My last video was from the Isle of Eigg. To catch the ferry I had a four-hour drive from Edinburgh, the last part of which is called 'The Road to the Isles' running the final stretch between Fort William and Mallaig. I had a number of requests to include something from this famous section of road, so here's my something...
This is dash-cam footage from my GoPro8 mounted on the windscreen. I have cut it down to only the more impressive parts of the drive as there were a LOT of roadworks, I guess as they prepare for the busier summer season ahead. It was still a pleasure to drive, although not quite as impressive as the train journey along the same route.
Please sit back and enjoy the video, it has a very relaxing soundtrack, almost ASMR :D (I didn't want to soundtrack the footage, but the drone of my van engine was just not as relaxing!)
If you get the chance to drive this route, be sure to take your time and stop off at some fascinating and famous places along the way. I was in a bit of a rush for the ferry, so no such luxury today!
Filmed on 28th March 2022. I left Fort William around 8am and was in Mallaig for my ferry to Eigg around 1 hour later. The drive is 43 miles (70km) in total on safe, but winding roads.

Wonderful memories and I agree Scothish roads are great and safe, I love driving them. I got my first car in 1969, a pal just down from training at Edinburgh Botanical Gardens suggested he took me driving around Scotland, I ended up doing 2,000 miles and a couple of months later passed first time. I didn’t visit Scotland again until we discovered Shearing’s midweek self-drive breaks apart from a couple of days in Edinburgh in the early 2,000s. In early November 2012 we stayed at the Caledonian Hotel in Fort William and drove the very same route of your video, we enquired about a ferry to Skye but it had stopped for the winter so the next day drove there over the bridge. It was autumn and the bronze and green landscape was stunning, over the next 8 years we returned 10 times, we were due to visit Portpatrick for a second time on March 30th 2020, we all know how that went. When Scotland removes all Covid restrictions we will return.

I expect you know the A816 from Lochgilphead to Oban, and this is one of my favourite Scottish drives following the Crinan canal, past historic sites at Dunadd and Kilmartin and then the coastal views across to the Garvellachs and Mull.
