Tour Scotland Photograph Stob a' Choire Odhair Scottish Highlands
Tour Scotland photograph of Stob a' Choire Odhair mountain north west of Bridge of Orchy, Scotland. This is the highest point in the former county of Argyll. The lower eastern slopes of Stob a' Choire Odhair carries two old roads which were important historical links to the north of Scotland. An old military road built by Major William Caulfeild was constructed in the early 1750s as part of the pacification of the Highlands after the 1745 Jacobite rising . Slightly further east is the line of an ancient drovers' road used to herd cattle to market, this road was improved by Thomas Telford in 1803 and carried the main road down Glen Coe to Fort William until 1933 when the present road was built further east. Telford’s road now carries the route of the West Highland Long Distance Walking Way.
