Braemore to Ullapool
A835Braemore to Ullapool
A fast Highland run to the fishing port of Ullapool past the Corrieshalloch Gorge.
The A835 sweeps north from Braemore toward Ullapool, passing the deep cleft of the Corrieshalloch Gorge with the mountains of Wester Ross all around. It flows well but is a working road with logging traffic and deer; keep your speed to the sight lines.
However long it takes to get up here, this stretch repays it. Somewhere along the way the shoulders drop, every single time.
