Rest and Be Thankful Viewpoint

The Rest and Be Thankful takes its name from an inscription carved here in the 18th century by soldiers who built the military road through the pass — a simple instruction to pause, recover and give thanks after the climb. From the viewpoint, the road drops away into Glen Croe, revealing a powerful Highland landscape shaped by weather, history and hard travel. It remains a natural stopping point today, often made even more inviting by a roadside snack van on busier days, serving burgers, hot drinks and other welcome comforts.
