How to get there: The Pass of Mam Ratagan is a very spectacular drive, with many hairpin bends on a single track road from Sheil Bridge at the head of Loch Duich towards Glenelg. The views are spectacular and well worth the effort.

Amenities: None.

Access: Not known - but a very steep single track road up from Sheil Bridge.

Unusual features or other information: The road over the Mam Ratagan pass was constructed in the 1770s by the Hanoverian forces to link Glenelg with Fort Augustus. At 1100 feet, it is one of the highest mountain passes in the UK.
