Great views of the sea, looks reay impressive at night. if parking is full be patient as theres a small cafe close by that you can park and walk in

The Bealach Ratagan climb from Shiel Bridge is a short but steep Highland ascent, averaging 9% with punishing ramps hitting 18%. The narrow, winding road climbs sharply with dense forest on one side and breathtaking views over Loch Duich on the other. The tarmac is decent but can be slick in damp conditions, and the hairpins demand careful line choice. Settle into a low gear early—the steepest sections come fast and don’t let up. Cresting the top rewards you with stunning vistas and a true sense of remote Scottish adventure.

parking can be tricky but you can park a bit further away and walk in, well worth the visit

great castle to look around and inside. well worth a visit

A lovely little community with a great cafe and surrounded by woodland walks.

It's a hard slog up the Old Military Road to the scenic point marked on the Ordnance Survey map, but it's worth the climb.

The original plan was to go from Glen Shiel campsite up the valley towards Meallan Odhar and under the Forcan Ridge. But the weather forecast warned of cloud cover at 400m and discretion seemed the better part of valour, hence the hike up the Old Military Road towards Glen More. This bridge is part of the original, now improved, road; one guesses that it must have been built with convict labour.

Take this path to avoid as much as possible of the horrible main road
