Bonawe Quarry This vast quarry on the shores of Loch Etive still produces granite. A fact anyone driving or cycling on the single track B 845 road from the quarry needs to be aware lest they meet lorries. From personal experience however I must acknowledge that the lorry drivers are both careful and courteous.
