Once you have probably had lunch and visited Ullapool, go back along road A835 until the junction with A832, and take it on your right, a few meters away, you will find Corrieshalloch Gorge. Visit the falls.

After resting in Gairloch for a while, let's go back to Inverness, but don't worry, the landscape keeps being lovely.

Leave Gairloch (first two pics) along road A 832 again, and after some 15 kms. you will find Loch Maree on your left (3rd pic); the rest of the road until junction with road A 835 is nice too. Then, road A 835 to Inverness.
