On the A835 going north from Ullapool and before Ledmore Junction there is a left for Lochinver, a very narrow single track up down blind corners, rocky outcrops. At the Lochinver end just south of Inverkirkaig there is a largish salmon hatchery (Inverpolly Hatchery) which generates a bit of traffic including lorries, my guess is that is the road where McCallum’s lorry is. I travelled it once in a motorcaravan, not fussed about doing it again.
