Kildonan Causeway
A
number of minor causeways play an important role in the inter-island route
through the Uists.
The 220 metre causeway across across Loch Kildonan in South Uist is one of
the earliest such crossings, having been constructed for cart traffic many
decades ago.
It
was improved to a 3-metre roadway as part of a township scheme about 40 years
ago - and further resurfaced, strengthened and armoured after suffering storm
damage in 1984 when more than £40,000 was spent to maintain the vital
village link.
