A890 Eastbound The A890 is a non-primary cross-country route in sparsely populated, mountainous terrain from Lochalsh and Skye on the west coast of the Highlands to Achnasheen where it joins the A832 to Inverness. Like many Highland roads, the A890 was entirely single track until the 1960s, but road improvements in recent years (along with improvements on the A832) have made it increasingly popular as an alternative route between Inverness and the Isle of Skye, avoiding the A82 along Loch Ness. It is also an important route for residents of the Lochalsh, Applecross and Strathcarron areas, connecting them to the services of Kyle of Lochalsh , as well as the High School in Plockton.

Failte gu Loch Carron The North Coast 500 is a 516 mile scenic route around the north coast of Scotland, starting and ending at Inverness Castle. The route is also known as the NC500 and was launched in 2015, linking many features in the north Highlands of Scotland in one touring route. The route has increased visitor numbers to parts of the north of Scotland, which has brought economic benefits to some areas. The increase in traffic has also led to more instances of bad and dangerous driving, as well as damage to the roads and concerns about the environmental impact. Apparently the route was amended in 2022 with detours etc being removed.
