Sound nasty.  Glad you're both ok.  Where did it happen?  As someone who lives in the Highlands I can say that it's generally great for driving.  Quiet, fairly high speed roads and amazing scenery.  Unfortunately, I also know that the "middle of nowhere" roads can throw up some surprises with no road markings or warnings of upcoming very sharp bends!  A dicey combination.

I see you already said where was.  The A82 can be pretty dodgy in places too.  Just be glad that it wasn't on the road to Applecross (NW Highlands) - highest and fastest climbing road in GB.  Crash barriers might as well not be present for all the confidence they inspire.  Very hairy.

I once came off the road too.  The worst thing and the part which seems to go on forever is when you are fully aware that the crap is about to hit the fan and are also aware that you are no longer in control and can do nothing about it.  Not pleasant memories.
