Description
Calum MacLeod's vision for a road on Raasay was a romantic and quixotic venture that consumed almost twenty years of his life. At the age of 56, he set out to build a road single-handedly, driven by a desire to see new generations return to the north end of the island. The result was a remarkable feat of engineering, a kind of sculpture that perfectly balanced gradient, culvert and supporting wall. This book tells the extraordinary story of Calum MacLeod's devotion to his project, a testament to one man's determination and perseverance. Roger Hutchinson's narrative brings to life the story of this remarkable man and his remarkable achievement. Published in 2008, Calum's Road is a fascinating account of a unique and inspiring story.
