Facts and Events
[Sheila Mackenzie.ged] This may be the route of the post man to and from Coigach. The Old Postman's route is the track that the postman used to bring in the mail every day from Ullapool. It leads from the end of the tarmac road that stretches from Achiltibuie to Culnacraig ("Behind the Rock"). The path is narrow and at times difficult to follow. It passes along the cliff to Ardmair ("The Sea Promontory") via Geodha Mor ("The Great Creek"), Leum an Fheidh ("The Deer's Leap"), the old fort at Dun Canna and Blughasary. From there are side paths to Strathcanaird and another by Maell nan Clachan ("The Pile of Rocks") to Loch eader dha Bheinn ("The Lake between the Mountains"). Be aware, no matter what the season, this walk is not easy. ( The aol membersweb site) |
