Duncan's Road, Isle of Lismore (Oban Bay)

We quite frequently hear on the forum about Calum's road on Raasay (off Skye).

Well there is another, not dis-similar story on the Isle of Lismore, in Oban Bay- Duncan's Road.

A brand new memorial has recently been installed, and this is the story- https://www.lismoregaelicheritagecentre.org/a-tribute-to-duncan-livingstone/?fbclid=IwY2xjawOYFjxleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFkcURjcFpYMTRCZW8xQ0FRc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHicAPDByy2M_MvJCrSrM6P2MQOfk7mQMw-umqKYh5c0eEJYYb9ZjdD0dXgv2_aem_mqzmoY7BrmQ3OqnfixTrGA

I've actually been down that road and knew nothing about it, until tonight. I arrived on the foot ferry from Port Appin, walked most of the length of the island (including visiting St Moluag's Church, a former Cathedral), and left on the little car ferry back to Oban. A lovely, peaceful day out, far from the madding crowds.

I had no idea that one man built that road. We walked it from Port Appin in 2019. It was of course rainy and misty. We visited the Heritage Center, and had a nice snack, and met a number of residents in Laggan.
