Scotland's Best: B869 Lochinver to Kylesku

One of Scotland's great single-track road trips: Lochinver, Clachtoll, Clashnessie, Nedd, Kylesku. The 25 mile B869 is a truly amazing drive along single-track roads, with steep hills unexpected switchbacks, wide vistas and unexpected viewpoints. It passes through a magnificent landscape of uncompromising rocks, chaotic crofts, green pastures and sandy beaches.
This road trip finishes at the Kylesku Bridge, which replaced the Kylesku Ferry in1984. It must be one of the most beautiful bridges in Scotland. It was designed by Ove Arup, who later designed "The Bridge" linking Sweden and Denmark.
The route from Lochinver to Kylesku along Loch Assynt is 18 miles and takes about 30 minutes. The route via the B869 takes anywhere between 1¹/₂ to 2¹/₂ hours depending on the season, but then you will also want to stop and take in the breathtaking scenery. Whilst the single track route offers so much to tourists, it must be a source of frustration to local people. Fortuately the road is closed to caravans.

Beautiful . I've travelled this wonderful road a number of times on a variety of motorcycles and it is impossible to tire of it . The first time I went there the bridge was still being built .

I come to Lichinver every year for my summer holidays. And this road is the one I love the most. Nostalgia, as I am thinking of Lochinver retreat, while in gloomy January

An amazing road for cycling... Without a doubt though, Ardbhair Brae, seen at 3:53, is the most difficult hill I have ever cycled up. Great video of an amazing road. Thanks for uploading.
