I do not know whether or not you saw the James Bond film, Skyfall, the one where Bond took M to his Ancestral home in Scotland to keep her safe Unfortunately he couldn’t save her and his home was destroyed along with his car! I loved that one..the movie! Anyway, the road he drove down was actually Glen Etive in Glen Coe! We knew it as a 12 mile long one track road on a very foggy day and did it anyway!
Driving down Glen Etive is very surreal! The height of the mountains takes your breath away and you enter into a
mental realm of peace and euphoria. As if you are cast into a magical spell that leads you further and further into the unknown around every curve!Waterfalls cut down the sides of the mountains to feed beautiful fresh water stream along as you go!
Mountain after mountain unfolds before you and the road leads you further and further down into the Glen ! After an hour I began to feel a sense of dread as there were very few others driving Skyfall and I began to think of what if we get a flat tire, or worse ? No cell phone ….another country.. no one knows we are here I felt bad about it but I started to beg to turn around and head back up to civilization We still had 3 miles to go but that would be prob another 30 minutes of “falling” more under that spell! So we turned back without knowing the rest of the story!
