Old Carsaig Road Renovation Works

Mar 29, 2026 | Land, News

Work to renovate the eastern part of the Old Carsaig Road between Tayvallich village and the SSEN substation will begin on: Monday 30 March The works are expected to last around 6–10 days. During this period: • Access along the old road will be restricted for walkers • There will be occasional full closures to allow work to be carried out safely • If you use the route regularly, we recommend planning alternative paths where possible • Apologies for any inconvenience these works may cause The project is part funded by those with land/property along the track, and TI’s contribution is from the two-year Access and Inclusion Project that Esmée Fairbairn Foundation (EFF) funds. This marks the initial stage of a wider plan to fully renovate the old road that runs through TI land, improving its condition for the long term. There is currently no funding available for the longer stretch, but it’s hoped that a big fund-raiser might make the full renovation possible in due course.
