Bealach Na Bà, also known as the "pass of the cattle" in Scottish Gaelic, is a stunning scenic route in the northern Highlands of Scotland. This winding road offers one of the most dramatic drives in the UK, with hairpin bends, steep gradients, and breathtaking views over Wester Ross and the Isle of Skye. At over 600 meters above sea level, it's the highest road you can drive in Scotland, making it a must-see for any road trip enthusiast looking for an adventurous journey through the rugged Scottish landscape. Just remember to take it slow, enjoy the ride, and watch out for passing places on this narrow single-track road!

PLEASE NOTE: This route is NOT SUITABLE for caravans and motorhomes due to the sharp hairpin bends and steep inclines!
