About this road
The highest main road in the UK at 670 metres, passing Scotland's oldest ski centre at the summit and the notorious Devil's Elbow hairpin just to the south.
Ride notes
- Highest main road in the UK, exposed to severe weather
- Snow gates close the road in winter
- Busy with ski traffic in season
Green lanes
Holloway doesn't map green lanes in Scotland. Scotland's access law is different from England and Wales: the right to roam doesn't cover motor vehicles, and there's no byway system like England's. So this road is here for the tarmac only.
