Description

Survey was undertaken of the 10km of drover's road running between Kinloch and Kylerhea, Skye. This was to provide baseline data to inform the strategy for upgrading the route. Study of cartographic sources confirmed the route of the road, and subsequent walkover survey identified differential survival along its route. A number of associated features, including paved fords and bridge abutments were also noted. <1>
