Calum's Road on Raasay took one man ten years to build in the 1960s & 70s. It is now falling into disrepair and needs what it had previously ... loving care.
It avoided cliff-faces, took in bends and presented passing-places. In the past it was used by more pedestrians and in recent years vehicles have taken their toll rather than paid it.

Readers will enjoy Roger Hutchinson's fine book "Calum's Road". On Amazon at c.£6. Title self-explanatory.
Fine morning here in Spain, but we are already planning our island visits in May and June can't wait!
I bought the book ages ago when it first came out. It's a fascinating story and I have long wanted to walk along the road. This year maybe?
I have enjoyed reading Paul Camilli's blog about life at the end of Calum’s Road – check it out at:
