B8015

Entering Skigersta

As with its two neighbours on the other side of the road, the B8015 is a short, perhaps unnecessary classified route at the northern tip of the Isle of Lewis. The road was originally unclassified but had gained its number by 1932.

The area to the south of the A857 as it heads into Lionel (Lionel) and Port of Ness (Port Nis) is scattered with cottages connected together by a maze of lanes which often degenerate into rough tracks across the peat bog. The B8015 just happens to be the last right turn leading into this area, and subsequently extends for about a mile and a half through the townships of Adabrock (Adabroc) and Eorodale (Eòradal). Here, at the crossorads, the road drops to single track. There's then an unsigned TOTSO to the left just after the phone box on the near side of Skigersta (Sgiogarstaigh). After passing the turn for the road to the pier the road ends at a bend just past the last house, or possibly a little sooner depending which map and scale you are using.
