Long single-track road to mainland Britain's westernmost point.
The B8007 runs single-track from Salen west across the Ardnamurchan peninsula to Kilchoan and the lighthouse at Ardnamurchan Point, the most westerly point of the British mainland. The road crosses the remains of an ancient volcanic crater. Mind the rough surface near the Point, wandering livestock and long distances between services.
