Dead-end single-track glen road off Rannoch Moor.
This unclassified single-track road runs roughly twelve miles from the A82 down Glen Etive to the head of Loch Etive, past the River Etive and beneath Buachaille Etive Mor. It featured as a location in the Bond film Skyfall. Mind the many blind passing places, the dead-end return drive and patchy mobile signal.
