I'd not want be caught on the A82. Drivers mucking about with phones trying to take pictures, lots of tourists who are not familiar with the road/UK roads, tourist buses everywhere, very narrow, poor visibility due to twists/turns and trees etc. As has been said it's a nice road but only if you're in a car.
A pedestrian was killed on that bit heading to Glencoe last year, it would be no safer on a bike

It's a draft route. This looks quite nice:
wikipoodia does say it's a "major road in Scotland" but how busy is a major road in Scotland?

Though this is some tosser sooking about "overtaking opportunities". This ride is also 800 people rather than single riders so less risky due to numbers.
