See a report on the Add-on-Tour. Link One of our Memorable MG Routes goes round the Wester Ross Trail from Dornie (near Kyle of Lochalsh) to Ullapool via Dundonnell. Route described.

Link Posted: 251230 A full road closure was proposed by the energy distribution firm SSEN Transmission for a three-mile stretch of road near Dundonnell to allow for a major subsea electricity cable from the Western Isles to be connected to the national grid. That closure would have resulted in an 80 mile (130km) diversion. Some locals feared for the future of their businesses, should the original plans have gone ahead but after concerns were raised about the original proposals, revised plans to close a three mile section of the A832, part of the North Coast 500 route, were offered which would allow work to be carried out safely, whilst minimising the impact on the local community. Work is due to start on 19th January 2026. BBC NEWS update on 24th December 2025. Link BBC NEWS item on 22nd September 2025. Link Dundonnell Hotel above. Link 7 & Road closure map. Link
