Sir,
I am astonished that a Dalmally charity should expect Argyll and Bute Council to carry out expensive improvements to a remote coastal track and build a cycle path on Mull in order for them to have a stress-free walk to Iona, during the present financial crisis (‘Mull walking route is blasted as an accident waiting to happen’, Oban Times, September 28).
It must be a lovely walk but no-one is asking them to do it. I wonder how the pilgrims of old, clad in cassocks and sandals with only sticks to defend themselves from the pagans and wild beasts, managed?
