Walking on Raasay East Coast and Calum's Road


Walking on Raasay East Coast and Calum's Road.

Raasay has a great variety of walking ranging from gentle paths to the nightmarish East Coast route. Dropping down to the ruins of Hallaig from the summit of Dun Caan, I was overcome by the tranquilty of the area, and felt moved by the thought of this bustling village in years gone by. As a result of the Highland Clearances, no one farms at Hallaig now and although life must have been hard, replacing the native Scots with sheep, was a bitter betrayal of Highland loyalty.

Further North, the ruins of North and South Screapadal once again demonstrate how a thriving population left the land of their birth for an uncertain future. Near Screapadal is the start of the famous Calum's Road, a single handed project of road building by a proud and thoughtful man, Calum Macleod. The story of his epic struggle as well as the wider context of the Highland Clearances is well told in the book Calum's Road by Roger Hutchison. This is one of my favourite Scottish Books and I would encourage you to read it.

Suilven, Sutherland.


Quinag, Sutherland, Scotland.



Arkle from Loch Stack, Sutherland.



Sandwood Bay.
Sandwood Bay is among the finest coastal scenery in Europe, with magnificent sands and dune systems. A landmark sea stack, Am Buachaille, and further miles of wild cliff scenery lead to quieter bays near the estate's crofting settlements. There are eight islands, a saltwater lagoon and the freshwater Sandwood Loch. Behind coastal machair, extensive peatlands sweep up to hills on the estate's landward edge. The whole estate gives visitors a sense of exposure, remoteness and purity. The estate is all croft land. The 54 crofts are managed by 10 working crofters.



Sutherland is an outdoor lovers paradise and has hardly changed since the description of ‘Bartholemew's Gazetteer of the British Isles' in 1887.
'Sutherland in the extreme N. of Scotland; is bounded W. and N. by the Atlantic Ocean, E. by Caithness and the Moray Firth, and S. by the Dornoch Firth and Ross and Cromarty; greatest length, NW. and SE., 63 miles; greatest breadth, NE. and SW., 60 miles; area, 1,297,846 ac. The N. and NW. coasts are bold and rocky, some of the cliff scenery being remarkably grand, but along the Moray Firth the ground is generally low and sandy. The surface consists chiefly of mountainous moorland, varied by numerous straths or narrow valleys which open towards the sea. The highest summit is Ben More Assynt, alt 3273 ft. The principal streams are the Oykell, Brora, Helmsdale, Halladale, Naver, and Hope. Of numerous lochs the largest are Lochs Shin, Assynt, Naver, Laoghal, Hope, and More. The angling in the lochs and streams is good, especially for trout. The coast fisheries are considerable. The amount of arable land is comparatively very small. There are extensive deer forests, and sheep are grazed in great numbers.'

Raasay East Coast, A Walk on the Wild Side.

Enjoyed a super days walk on the East Coast of Raasay - literally a walk on the Wild Side! The walk had everything - stunning views, lots of wildlife and even fossils!

Combine that with the tragic story of the Highland Clearances demonstrated by the poignant ruins at Hallaig, and it makes for a memorable day.

Near the North of the island is the famous Calum's Road, where crofter Calum Macleod single handedly and with basic equipment built a road to his home, over almost 20 years, hoping that new generations of people would return to the North End of Raasay. The book Calum's Road, written by Roger Hutchinson, intertwines the tragedy ot the Highland Clearances with one mans pride and vision, and is a superb read.
