The community on Islay wished to link Port Ellen with Ardbeg to allow sustainable travel for local community, visitors, and staff working at the distilleries (Laphroaig, Lagavulin, and Ardbeg). A 5 km path project was proposed and over a 4 year period installed by the community access group. The community wished to deliver a path project, with matched funding criteria for sustainable travel, whilst delivering a path network within the vicinity of the A846, which would remove the use of the A846 for sustainable travel users.
