Thers's a wrong way to Inverary

Have you ever driven a scenic drive and felt it would have been better the other direction?
You know, the best views or the parking spots are always across the road, confirmed by the direction of travel of most traffic.
I have an unhappy knack of driving scenic drives in th wrong direction. In 2007 we drove the wrong way around the Ring o Kerry It was so obvious and so annoying that I drove it the right way th next day, adding quite a few miles to the trip. Then last Xmas in New Zealand, we were told of the beautiful Queen Charlotte Sound drive from Nelson to Havelock. It's 40k of very windy roads and you can take it from me, it is much better driven from the Havelock end.
So to today's drive, down Scotland's Argyll coast. It has been a long day of driving but mostly relaxing. The phone took us into Glasgow which wa a mistake but otherwise we headed in the right direction. If you look at a map, we had headed north from Tarbet through Glencoe to Fort William and down to Oban. Today we completed the loop back to Arrocher and Tarbet and then we had to make our way back towards the Lakes District where we stay for a week from tomorrow.
We left Oban in squally showery weather which continued all day but with enough breaks in the rain to shine some light on the mountains and the water. The first part of the drive was beside the the various inlets including Loch Fyne and was enjoyable. I realised we were going the wrong direction, however, after leaving Inverary. Not only had it sprung upon us so that only a local would know what it was, we had actually left the place before we realised what a gem it was. Had we approached it from the south, tell tale signs like a beautiful one laned arched bridge over a river, Inverary Castle on your right or the town itself reflected off the waters of ???????? would have suggested a stop. There was proably even a town sign.
Fortunately, we chucked a yewie after the bridge and headed back to the castle and managed to see some of the sights.
It was not over yet, however. The road began to climb steeply past impressive snow clad peaks but the first sign of a viewing platform was all the people on my right as we headed back down the narrow mountain pass towards Arrochar. Impossible to turn here so no photos of that impressive Scottish valley from me.
