Translation

Muddy pass

Description

This stretch of road which ran from Brogaig into Stenscholl was so difficult to pass, due to the depth of mud and clay that it was compared to a pig sty. This was the main route for carts and horses, including the mail cart coming from Uig, and the road was badly eaten up.
