The ‘parallel roads’ lining Glen Roy aren’t roads at all but the level shorelines of a lake once dammed by glaciers in the last ice age, left stranded as terraces along the hillsides. There’s a viewpoint car park up the minor road off the A86 where you can see them clearly, running for miles at a steady height. A genuinely odd and memorable bit of landscape.
