A roadside viewpoint on the twisting Assynt coast road, Drumbeg looks over Loch Dhrombaig and the scattered islands of Eddrachillis Bay towards Handa. It’s a welcome pull-in on the notoriously narrow and hilly B869 — worth stopping at properly rather than snatching a glance while you concentrate on the passing places.
