taken 8 years ago, 3 km from Flodaigh, Na h-Eileanan an Iar, Scotland

Causeway on Sgaraileòd track, Benbecula
Causeway on Sgaraileòd track, Benbecula
This is an excellent track for most of its length. After leaving the metalled section, the grassed part leads to Sgaraileòd. Where there was a risk of flooding or in order to overcome marshy conditions, several sections have been built up as causeways as here. Labour must have been very cheap in those days.
