In Focus
The story of Calum's
Road is a deeply inspirational one. In order to counter the diminishing
population at the northern end of Raasay, one man took it upon himself
to build a road across two miles of extremely difficult terrain. Calum
MacLeod built the road between
the mid 1960s and the mid 1970s, at which point it was possible to
drive it in a Land Rover. In 1982
the road was finally adopted by the council and finished off with tarmac.
