A nice piece from @Craig196 about The Dukes Pass in the Trossachs...


Having personally discovered this fantastic stretch of tarmac whilst staying very close to it last month - yes, there were a good number of passes of the Pass completed - I can highly recommend it. I can also recommend a fly fishing lesson with the Ghillie at Tigh Mor too... 😆

Came across a couple of old postcards of the Dukes Pass on our travels, a lot less trees back then so you can really see the switchbacks.

And some intrepid sorts in an Austin 7…

Marvellous!

That's a great road. I did it last year as part of a classic car tour which finished up at Inverary Castle. A great part of Scotland.

Sounds like a great trip Richard, we're hoping to get over to Loch Fyne at some point, not on this trip though I don't think. The Dukes is still up there as one of my favourite roads in the UK currently, the way it's technical but it still flows really nicely, a joy to drive, then there's the scenery!

Pic from a couple of days ago, before the low cloud & snow arrived, which made it interesting this morning...
