A scenic climb out of Lochearnhead that Queen Victoria likened to the Khyber Pass.
The A85 climbs through Glen Ogle above Lochearnhead, curving past the old railway viaduct with long views down the glen. It is a flowing main road; mind the gradients, the laybys full of admirers, and the weather coming over the pass.
