A lonely road beneath Suilven to the fishing village of Lochinver.
The A837 crosses the empty Assynt landscape from Ledmore to Lochinver, beneath the unmistakable dome of Suilven rising from the moor. It is a quiet, winding Highland road; carry fuel, mind the single-track sections and watch for stags on the road at dawn and dusk.
