Highlight • River

Old bridge over the Black Water.
When you drive over it, the metal plates on the bridge rattle.

Loch Luichart

Highlight • Lake

Loch Luichart is a sizeable loch just below the Highlands and to the west of Inverness. The road surface around the edge is great but it can get busy with traffic heading for Skye in the summer.

A brilliant place for a stop in Achnasheen with an even better name! Handily it's also on the NC500 route. Watch out though as it closes periodically over the winter months, midge season only!

The Midge Bite Cafe

Highlight • Cafe

Popular with cycylists and walkers the Midge Bite is a must stop. Good food, great company and super bike friendly. Stock up before you head into the hills - cafes/shops are few and far between in the hills.

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The road is two lanes wide and not very busy, which means that drivers can easily overtake. Unfortunately, as is always the case on roads, there are one or two people who overtake closely.
