NH1577 : Destitution Road

taken 21 years ago, 3 km from Fain, Highland, Scotland

Destitution Road
Destitution Road
So called because it was built during a 19th century potato famine to provide relief. The visible road is actually recent; the photograph was taken from the old road. In the distance, the Fannichs have had a spring shower.
