Its bends, along ittwistiest at the dashed line

Hardly a bend worth the name, and one of the great drives in Britain all the same. The A82 comes off Rannoch Moor past Buachaille Etive Mòr, standing guard at the head of the glen, and runs down between the mountains, under the Three Sisters, towards Loch Leven.

There are car parks at the Three Sisters and further down the glen, and in summer the road's busy with coaches and campervans. Take your time, and pull in for the views rather than trying to see them on the move.
