Welcome to Scotland

And you can pretty much be certain that there will be no more then 1 petrol station in those 49 miles and only then if you are hugely lucky

I paid 1.47 a litre up that way a week ago, if you are coming from the south you can go gourock-dunoon.

When you look at the geography it is inevitable.

Absolutely superb section of road when it is open.
