The A849 from Craignure is all S2 but soon after becoming the A848 in Salen it narrows to single track at the bridge. Taken from the B8035 junction.
This was where the A848 once started, at Salen Pier when it was the main steamer pier on Mull. Since Craignure opened in the mid 1960s, however, the pier had become almost disused, and while the A848 still runs to it the importance of this 'spur' has long gone.
A848 along Tobermory harbour.
