Calum was an extraordinary man who frustrated with the Highland Councils slow attitude to build a read tarmac road to Calum's community on Raasay, so that the community could have the services everyone of us take for granted every day, like getting our bins emptied, an ambulance to the door in times of emergency, visitors who don't have to walk miles n miles to see you, When this was not forthcoming, Calum took it upon himself to build his own road fro hos community to join with the main road, armed with a wheelbarrow, a pick & a shovel, the story tells you of the hardship he endured in summer & winter to get his road built and to the right standard as the rest of the roads on the Island, Once you start this book it is hard to put it down...

The book combines history of the crofting in Raasay - an island near Skye. In fact there is very little about the road making itself. You just knew he made it! Good little book that will lead to further exploration of the area.
