The mesmerising beauty of this stretch of the A82 puts it high on the list of any driving road in the world. You'd be forgiven for thinking this is a tourist detour, but it's actually the main road between Glasgow and Fort William! The 20 minute stretch I cover in this unedited video is of course the most famous bit (and understandably so), but the road is also beautiful before and after. However, this bit here is just ridiculous! :) I have driven it countless times before, but am always so focussed on the driving, even I didn't realise how amazing it was until editing this wee video. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

This is without doubt one of the most breathtaking views in the UK, you have to drive it in person to fully appreciate the true scale. Beautiful Scotland.

There are higher peaks in the world, but none so profound. This is why Scotland breaks your heart.

Hi Im a local, and i have been battling cancer for two years. I drive to hospital in glasgow and back three days a week, always via the Glen. This journey soothes my soul and I always stop at the Laraig Gartain or the Three Sister Carpark to breathe the air and sit awhile. This film means I can share the good bits.

Last time I drove north on this road it was in glorious sunshine the whole day, Scotland looked amazing. Three days later I drove back south, in dark overcast conditions and Scotland looked even better. As a Welshman my country is beautiful as well, but Scotland has a wild untamed and very expansive feeling. For anyone wondering, go, you will not regret it.

This is an incredible video and yet it still doesn’t do it justice. I have travelled this road many many many times and each time I still get goosebumps. It never gets any less spectacular no matter how many times I drive through. It takes my breath away every time.

I drove this route in 2018. It’s absolutely stunning scenery. Took me so much longer than 20 minutes as I kept stopping to take photos! A87 Broadford to Portree is another favourite of mine.

Some 37 years have passed since my first visit to Glencoe and Ballachulish. A misty morning in late June gave way to sunshine, and the hills were deep green of summer. Making the turn from the A82 onto the single track road through Glen Etive was the best surprise of the day. Highland scenic treasure beginning to end. Thanks for sharing this excellent video of your visit, Steve. Health and peace!

Drove this twice in the last week, both in 35 degree blazing sunshine, once at 4pm, the second time at 9am. The morning version saw low clouds and mist before they were burnt off, and whilst this film tries, nothing can convey the sheer beauty like your own eyes. It truly is breathtaking and never looks the same twice.

It reminds me the first time I went to Glencoe. March 2017. It was a sunny day (unusual hahahaha), it snowed the day before. Man... One of the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Damn, I miss Scotland so much! Love your videos!
