On the Claigan Road, Dunvegan

ID: QZP40_CARD_2421 DESCRIPTION: The newly-built dam forming Loch Suardal to the north of Dunvegan Castle. Prior to the construction of a causeway here vehicles crossed the shore before picking up the road again. A few miles of single track road runs from the Castle to the small township of Claigan, which is the starting point for a popular walk to the Coral Beaches, banks of broken coral washed ashore to form a white gleaming strand next to the (sometimes) turquoise waters of Loch Dunvegan.
