Scottish West Coastal Drive No 2 - Inversanda/Corran Ferry

Take a ride in my car along the A861 from Inversanda to Ardgour, over the Corran Ferry towards Fort William. I do this trip most weeks and on days like this, it's breath taking.
The background music is taken fromthe album 'Legacy' by the Old Blind Dogs. (1995). The 1st song: Tibbie Fowler/Breton Dance Tune, 2nd: The Rose and the Lyndsay O'. The band members at the time: I.F Benzie: Lead singer/guitar; Jonny Hardie: Fiddle/guitar/vocals; Davy Cattanach: Percussion/vocals; Buzzaby McMillan: Elec. Bass/vocals/D.Whistle.

Hi Dave

i did take some footage of applecross but it was really wobbly, couldnt fix my camera to the sprinter, (which is my pride and joy, i have made it into my new camper van!) no mirror! hope to have that solved soon...

Actually on the single track, only about 30 and on the main road, no more then 60, I am more conscious of my own mortality since the accident, I do not want to end up in another gully. I will film Applecross in the summer or maybe at Easter if the weather is good. Mx

well with only the view of the back of the lorry, I edited it a bit!! Perhaps next time I will show the view coming from the other direction, but the camera was stuck to the mirror, and it is only a 5 minute ferry ride. It gets much busier in the summer, just how much, I have yet to find out. Mx

Thank you for such a great video. Reminds me when we drove from Oban to Tain along Ness. Hope to go back in Set 2011, if not it will be Sept 2012. I live in New Hampshire, USA. Some things here in the mountains seem similar except the driving. I learned that when I am told it takes 10 minutes to go some place in Scotland that I double the time for me! Ha

Wonderful country. I stayed across the street from the ferry on the Ardgour side of the loch for a few days over the summer. Beautiful country, can't wait to come back.
