The route will travel from the east side of Sgoil an Iochdar playground and follow Bualadabh to the junction with the A865. The route will consist of an off-road 3-metre-wide shared use path, accessible to all users. In some sections a boardwalk will be installed to address the risk of flooding in those areas.
