Abandoned Road Roller
Fiona and I recently went off the island for a trip down the road to Camas Luinie. It's a road end we had driven past many times without ever thinking it would be worth a visit. How wrong we were. The drive along Loch Long, even in horrible drizzly weather, was stunning. We will definitely be back again in better conditions. The gloomy weather meant I took very few photos but at the very end of the road at Camas Luinie I came across this abandoned road roller in the undergrowth and thought it worthy of a couple of shots.
The road roller is actually an American machine. It is a Huber, built in Marion, Ohio. How it came to be abandoned in the back of beyond is a mystery.
PS I have just noticed that it has a Caterpillar engine.
