New bridge for access around Loch Druidibeg Where the recent maps mark a causeway is now a purpose built pedestrian bridge that gives access to the area and provides a link that creates an excellent circular walk taking in the Loch Druidibeg and the machair. The walk is described on the Walk Highlands website.
