Driving The Longest Dead-End Road in The UK

Today I'm driving the longest dead-end road in the UK. This 22-mile-long road is located in the Scottish Highlands and starts near a place called Invergarry. From the turn-off, the road becomes single track and the scenery becomes more and more spectacular before I reach Kinloch Hourn, the end of Britians longest dead-end road.
If you're interested to know what driving in Scotland is like or to see what a Scotland road trip is like, this video will hopefully give you an insight!

WHO AM I?
If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that!
P.S. Some of the links in this description are affiliate links that I get a kickback from.

There's a dead-end Alpine road in southwestern Austria from Nauders (Tirol) up to the enclave village of Samnaun (Graubünden). When you get to the end, you're in Switzerland, but cut off from the rest of that country. You can only reach the village by road from Austria. The road is 25 km long. I used to live nearby and have often driven that road. Lovely country.

Deer on this road are nearly tame and will approach your vehicle because its a diesel, They are fed during the winter by a tractor with a diesel engine. The first part of this road use to be the main road to Skye but they built a dam in the next valley so a new road was built.

Called my friend up..fancy going the longest dead end road with a tea room at the end...as a tour guide, she straight away said aye...well, oui, actually... So, squeezed her into the passenger seat and duly found some twisty roads to get to firstly, fort Augustus via the essich road, then a82 invergarry..then on to the road you went down .. absolutely amazing drive ...

Hi, Ruth. I live in North Florida, deep in the woods, right next to the Osceola National Forest. The single track dirt road dead-ends in my front yard, but it’s only about 1/3 mile long from where it turns off the paved road. The nearest town is only about 6 miles away. Yes, your drive looks exactly like what I thought the Scottish Highlands would be like! I expect to visit soon, partly because you’ve shown me so many interesting places!

A friend and I walking in that area last June. Two points to remember....... One person had decided that the rule about not taking a caravan down that road, didn't apply to him..... he created serious problems for other road users! Wise to remember that the weather can change quite quickly. My friend and I walked to the bothy at Barrisdale from the car park, and spent the night there. The next day, in glorious sunshine, we followed the stalkers paths over the hills to the Western end of Loch Quaich. We pitched up on the shore. Then we noticed a storm at the dam end of the loch, about 5-6 miles away.... the storm headed our way and within 20 minutes, it was above us..... Very high winds, torrential rain and very noisy thunder storm..... all whipped-up from a sunny calm day in just a few minutes...... It abated almost as quickly as it arrived..... after about 5 minutes directly over head. Fortunately we had our tents up just in time. Useless piece of information::- Until the new road was built around Loch Loyne, (early 50s) the first 5 miles of the road, as far as Tomdoun, was the main road to the Isles....... it must have been a long weary drive in those days!

One ice road in Northern Quebec takes hours to travel and you can't get back till next winter if the ice melts. The landscape isn't nearly as beautiful but the Polar bears, Moose, Belugas and Wolves are spectacular.

Thanks Paul! Nice to hear you’ve been down that road too!
Hi Ruth, this is one of my favourite roads and as I live locally I try to cycle it at once or twice a year. Totally agree with you about the scenery and it changes with the seasons. Thanks for sharing the beer52 link I’m looking forward to trying the beers

Thanks Susanna, hope you can visit sometime!
Thank you so much for this video. We love driving such lonely single track roads and we are always looking for new ones. We have noted it for our next trip to Scotland in October. We will drive it with our Suzuki Jimny, the perfect car for these roads.

What a nice drive! I never thought there were such nice mountains in Scotland, it really is beautiful there, we also have one track roads here in Austria where I live, scary at times when someone is coming down the mountain, they have priority and you hope to find a place to pull over so they can continue their way down, thanks for taking us along!

It was really nice! Thanks for watching from Austria!
Thanks! That's been added to my "to do" list. I did the road to Loch Etive, off the Glen Coe road, last year. It was 15 miles and spectacular.

Very soon!
Lovely drive. I went there about 30 years ago and there was just a farm at the end of the road, nothing at all other than that. Thanks for posting such an interesting video.

My Dad, Uncle and cousins have fished in loch Garry many times, but I haven’t seen those views in almost 30 years! Thank you for sharing.
