About this road
The B862 and B852 from Fort Augustus along the quiet south side of Loch Ness, through Whitebridge and Foyers and past Dores to Inverness, a far calmer ride than the A82 on the north shore.
Ride notes
- Single track in places
- Steep climbs above Fort Augustus
Green lanes
Holloway doesn't map green lanes in Scotland. Scotland's access law is different from England and Wales: the right to roam doesn't cover motor vehicles, and there's no byway system like England's. So this road is here for the tarmac only.
