Calum Mac Leod had lived on the northern point of Raasay since his birth in 1911. He tended the Rona lighthouse at the very tip of his little archipelago until semi-automation in 1967 reduced his responsibilities. ' So what he decided to do' says his last neighbour Donald Mac Leod 'was to build a road out of Arnish in his months off. With a road he hoped new generations of people would return to Arnish & all the north end of Raasay'. & so at the age of 56 Calum Mac Leod the last man left in northern Raasay set about single-handedly constructing the 'impossible' road. It would become a romantic quixotic venture a kind of sculpture; an obsessive work of art so perfect in every gradient culvert & supporting wall that its creation occupied almost twenty years of his life. In Calum's Road" Roger Hutchinson recounts the extraordinary story of this remarkable man's devotion to his visionary project." ...
