Tour Scotland Video Drive To Loch Slapin Isle Of Skye Inner Hebrides

Tour Scotland video of a drive on the single track road to Loch Slapin on ancestry visit to Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Scotland. This Scottish loch is located between Broadford and Elgol. A single track road or one lane road is a road that permits two way travel but is not wide enough in most places to allow vehicles to pass one another, although sometimes two compact cars can pass. This kind of road is common in rural areas across the United Kingdom and elsewhere. The term is widely used in Scotland, particularly in the Highlands and Islands.
