The Rest and be Thankful - April 2021
The A83 is a very important through road, and My way home, if you don't want to use the ferry service, in Scotland and connects the Central Belt, via the A82 from Glasgow, with the south west of Scotland all the way down to Campbeltown Kintyre. The road starts in Tarbet at the junction with the A82, north of the Banks of Loch Lomond. The A83 is a very scenic road, almost 100 miles long, and it brings you through some of the most beautiful countryside Scotland has to offer.
Looking Down Glen Kinglas from Rest and Be Thankful. Since much of this scenic road runs along the shores of Loch Fyne, the highest point is reached only ten miles after Tarbet at the famous pass called Rest and Be Thankful. This pass on the A83 is 245m above sea level and it divides Glen Kinglas from Glen Croe. On top is a viewpoint with beautiful views in Glen Croe where you can clearly see the old valley road which was engineered by General Wade during the subjection of Scotland following the Jacobite rebellion. A stone was erected to commemorate the completion of this military road in 1750. Many great hills of Arrochar to offer these beautiful views. This from Beinn an'Lochain.
