Rest And Be Thankful

The top road in the photo is the main A83 road which runs up the length of Glen Croe rising to the viewpoint known as "Rest & Be Thankful". The old road below is part of the military road that ran from Dumbarton to Inveraray. This was built in the 1740s, a stone inscribed Rest & Be Thankful was erected at the summit around 1749, after this section of road was completed. The mountain to the left is the 858m “Beinn Luibhean” with the snow covered 884m “Ben Arthur” known locally as "The Cobbler" to the front. The small white house in the bottom is “High Glencroe” cottage.
