From Brochel runs the 1 ¾ mile Road to Arnish ('Calum's Road'), built single-handedly by the last remaining resident of Arnish, Calum Macleod, from about 1965 until 1974, with ongoing improvements until his death in 1988. From here, the depopulated north end of the island is still reached only on foot. At the remote township of Torran, the former school, opened 1839, closed 1967, is now a holiday home. Mission hall/house, late 19th century; in use until 1960s.
