Crofter, Callum MacLeod, 63, shoulders his shovel after another day

Crofter, Callum MacLeod, 63, shoulders his shovel after another days work on the road... his OWN road, 29th April 1973.
It weaves two and a half miles through two lines of hills, over two peat bogs and skirts the edge of a 250 foot cliff.
Callum has tackled this enormous task with just a shovel, a barrow and a pick. The story of Callums road started in 1925 when he began his campaign to get Inverness county council to build a road to the village of Arnis on Rsay.
The council refused, and so he went it alone. Building the road one step at a time over several decades
