NH5029 : A82 at Drumnadrochit
taken 11 years ago, near to Drumnadrochit, Highland, Scotland
A82 at Drumnadrochit
The A82 trunk road passing through the village of Drumnadrochit, close to Loch Ness. The village has several gift shops, including the one in this image on the opposite side of the road.
The A82
The A82 runs from Glasgow to Fort William and Inverness, passing along the shores of Loch Lomond and Loch Ness and in the shadow of Ben Nevis along the way. The majority of the route is a trunk road and hence managed by Transport Scotland, who view the road as a vitally important link through the Scottish Highlands and beyond.
At 167 miles, the road is the second longest A-road in Scotland (after the A9) and along its route uses pieces of road first built in the 1750s.
