My favourite drive in all of Scotland. Brings back a lot of happy memories from childhood,driving up from Fife with my Mum and Step-Dad to their caravan at Kinlochleven,with my aunt and uncle with the caravan next to us.Did that 3 or 4 times a year from the age of 11 until about 15.Good times.The melancholy music adds to the sentimentality of it for me.Although i remember my Mum breaking down crying the week my gran died, listening to 'The old ragged cross' on tha cassette player coming through Rannoch moor into Glencoe.

Glad it brought back happy memories for you!. You must’ve seen the scenery in all weathers, in the 3 or 4 times you traveled along the road. Thanks for your comments.

@@ColinM_KZbin For sure.Nothing beats coming through Glencoe with the sun going down and red and light and dark blue sky's at the end of the glen,and deer running about on the hills and fish jumping out the still lochs.Magic!Had a tear in my eye watching it.Thought I was too young to be a sentimental old fool.

@ianleishman6774 You paint a wonderful picture!. Nothing wrong with being sentimental, it’s amazing how a sight or even a smell can take you right back to a moment in time & evoke happy memories.

Nothing wrong with Fife either by the way. A wee run along to Anstruther for what are probably the best fish and chips ANYWHERE then round to St Andrews for ice-cream at Janetta's in South St.

This video to my mind, is just so trimendous, l have been on that a few times, but had to cut off at a certain point in the road to get to Loch Awe , there used to be a steam boat up there & l always liked to go for a sail on it, & years ago they brought up a railway carriage and made it into a railway cafe which was very good & you could have something to eat before you went for a sail on the steam boat, but that was long years ago, but a long time after that they brought the steam boat down to Loch Katrine, but apart from all that I always enjoyed driving along the A82, so thanks for posting this great video that I have thurly enjoyed.

I'm Paris watching your video as I'm planning to go to Glencoe. It's very nice to be able to see the road before. Although it's a bit confusing to see all these cars driving on the wrong side 🤦🏻♀️🤣 Thanks

Why limit yourself to just Scotland, when it is one of the U,K.’s best roads??
