About this road
A steep climb out of Glen Croe on the A83, named for the words carved into a stone at the summit by the soldiers who built the original military road in 1753, and prone to landslide closures after heavy rain.

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.
