The Pass of Drumochter is an epic mountain pass that separates the northern and southern central Scottish Highlands. The summit at 1,508 ft (460 m) is the highest point of any National Cycle Network in Scotland.

The Pass of Drumochter has a fairly big layby that's safely separate from the main road - a good place to drop off/pick up if required; the NCN 7 runs adjacent to the layby. Even better, the NCN 7 with its super smooth asphalt surface is downhill both ways from this high point.
