A spectacular lochside and coast road through Wester Ross.
The A832 runs from Kinlochewe along the shore of Loch Maree beneath Slioch to the coast at Gairloch, one of the great Highland drives. It is narrow and winding with single-track stretches; use the passing places, and stop only where it is safe to take in the view.
