Ride notes
- Single track in places
- Dead end at the lighthouse
- Very exposed to wind
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.
