The clachan of Reidh-dhail, which you wrote about on 12th Sept 2010, had its access via a road which begins opposite the Kilchoan jetty, rises up and passes between the two lochans, continuing westward to the remote community. Is there any evidence of the track remaining and is this perhaps an optimum route to ascend Druim na Gearr Leacainn, access permitting?

Comparing the 1872 OS 6" map to the modern OS the roads do not follow quite the route you suggest and I hope by pointing this out, the positioning of the cairns might be more accurately logged. The modern road follows the course up to the 5-arrow-head on your markings and then, diverting from the old road, curves east to rejoin the other road at the kink west of Creag an Airgid. This produces two sections of 'old road; one to the south of Creag an Airgid and the second being the continuation of the other Sanna road no longer used. It would be interesting to see of there is any evidence of these road sections still clear on the ground.Derryck Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00351680886475749476noreply@blogger.com
