One of Scotland's classic views

Just a viewpoint – but what a view! The road has climbed to 800 feet here as it crosses the mountains between Loch Long and Loch Fyne. For part of the way, it follows the line of the military road built in 1753. The soldiers who built it gave the pass its name.

There’s a marker stone recording the history of the pass at the bottom of the car park, just where the old road comes in.
