New Tolsta (which is Baile Ùr Tholastaidh in Scottish Gaelic) is a small village. It is located on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. This village is part of the Stornoway area. You can find New Tolsta north of North Tolsta, right at the end of the B895 road.
Exploring New Tolsta
New Tolsta is a quiet place in a beautiful part of Scotland. It is known for its peaceful surroundings. The village is on an island, which means it is surrounded by the sea. This makes it a unique place to live or visit.
The Road to Nowhere
Just north of New Tolsta, there is a very interesting road. This road was started but never finished. It was planned to go across the moorland. The idea was for it to connect with another road. That other road is near the village of Skigersta in Ness.
Locally, people call this unfinished project "the road to nowhere." It is a famous local landmark. It shows a big plan that was never completed.
