On the Dun Caan path Nearing the bottom of the excellent path from Dun Caan down to the road near Balmeanach. Across the Sound of Raasay are the big cliffs just north of Portree Bay.

Traffic approaching Traffic is a rare thing on Raasay, but here come two cyclists along the main N-S road on the island. The two parked vehicles are at the point where the hill path heads off towards Dun Caan.

On the Dùn Caan Path This is the shortest and easiest route to the highest point on Raasay. It's mostly a good path with just an occasional boggy patch.
