Path to Elba, and Edin's Hall Broch With the results of some timber felling activity. The Historic Scotland sign says that the broch <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/7582" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/7582">Link</a> is 2 1/4 miles from here - the path must be quite bendy, as it is only 1.1 miles as the crow flies. Elba was an 18-19thC coppermine.
