Rest and be Thankful

From Luss, our journey continues deeper into the National Park. Our route will take us into Argyll and over the ‘Rest and Be Thankful’ – a stunning mountain pass viewpoint that divides Glen Kinglas from Glen Croe. The name comes from a stone inscribed by soldiers who built the original military road in 1753, expressing their gratitude for reaching the summit. We’ll pause here to enjoy the views and learn about the history of this spot. After this short stop, the road opens up onto Loch Fyne which is famous around the world for its succulent seafood, including oysters, langoustines, and mussels.
