The path from Direascal to Kinlochresort The path from Direascal to Kinlochresort was an ambitious undertaking that had not been completed when they had to abandon Direascal in 1900. When they started building the path, workers from Luachair and Direascal met at the halfway point, and each group started building a path back to their respective villages. By the time they left in 1900, the Direascal men had made good progress; the path ended on the hillside, 200 yards east of the village. But work stopped on the other section a half mile from Luachair.
