National Cycle Route 78

National Cycle Route 78 runs from Claonaig to Inverness.

Route

Campbeltown to Oban

The route follows the sea front northwards, then turns north along George Street and turns right onto the B842 (High Street), which it follows north up the east coast of Kintyre, passing Carradale and Claonaig (where it meets the NCR73), before crossing the peninsula on the B8001, joining the A83 trunk road just south of Kennacraig.

The route follows the A83 to the head of West Loch Tarbert, where it turns left about 2 km before Tarbert onto a short unclassified road, before turning left onto the B8024, which it follows around the west coast of Kintyre, crossing again to the east coast to meet the A83 about 5 km south of Ardrishaig, where it leaves the A83.

Oban to Fort William

Some parts of this are complete, while other parts are still at the planning stage, or awaiting agreements with landowners.
