Mallaig Community Council worked with The Highland Council to initially upgrade a section of the popular walk in Mallaig, known as 'the Circular Walk'. This first section was from East Bay to the access to the housing at Kings Way. Work was undertaken by Knoydart Construction, and supervised by The Highland Council as this section is part of the Core Path Network.
Since then, the Community Council has worked along with the Road to The Isles Facilities Group to access funds to redevelop the remainder of the path, and works commenced on Monday 3rd June.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank those who have funded this project, and also members of the community who have donated on the just giving page. This remains open if you would like to make a contribution. Your support is very much appreciated.
The majority of the funding comes from the Highland Council's Community Regeneration Fund, with an award of £34,618.40. Match funding of £11,100 is being granted by Cargill / Ewos Community Fund, The Mackintosh Foundation, Highland Council (Core path maintenance), Scottish Sea Farms, and Mowi Scotland.
The work is now complete. There were some delays due to drainage issues which we hope have now been rectified. Going forward, we will look for funding options to complete the final section. Thanks for your patience during the works, and we hope you enjoy the finished path. It's nice to be able to walk it with trainers rather than walking boots!
