Cycling Jura, Deer Island

From Craighouse the route continues through the village on the A846, also known as the Long Road. Expect much less traffic than on a usual A-road and a few more potholes.  Friendly deer line the road at times. The route continues past a beautiful bay to Lagg, where it climbs steeply into a woodland, and descends to the thinnest part of the island at Tarbert. You can find a standing stone and the remains of a chapel in the field at Tarbert Bay, and a gravel track to the left leads down to Loch Tarbert.
