Calum MacLeod, after decades of unsuccessful campaigning by the inhabitants of the north end of Raasay for a road, and several failed grant applications, decided to build the road himself. Purchasing a book on road making for half a crown (12½p), he started work, replacing the old narrow footpath. Over a period of about ten years (1964-1974), he constructed one and three-quarter miles of road between Brochel Castle and Arnish, using little more than a shovel, a pick and a wheelbarrow. Several years after its completion, the road was finally adopted and surfaced by the local council. By then, Calum and his wife, Lexie, were the last inhabitants of Arnish.
