The Skye Bridge from Kyleakin

The Skye Bridge from Kyleakin
I am on the stony shores of Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye looking at this fine bridge where on the right hand side we see Kyleakin Lighthouse built in 1857 on the small Island of Eilean Bàn . The Island is used as a stepping stone for the bridge as it crosses the mouth of Loch Alsh to the Isle of Skye from the mainland. In fact what some people think is the start of the bridge on the mainland is actually the Carrich Viaduct link constructed at the same time as the bridge itself (just out of frame on the right).

Best full screen. Follow PiP for bridge details.

Enjoy the day.

From this viewpoint the bridge absolutely dwarves the old (Stevenson?) lighthouse.

Yes it was built by the David & Thomas Stevenson. Decommissioned in 1993.

Cheers for the call.

Even under the grey sky, this bridge looks pretty impressive.........and it's much bigger than it seems when you're driving over it. Seeing the large vehicles on the bridge and the houses top right give a good idea of scale.

Very nicely composed and taken Gerb

Thanks Keith. Yes a very nice design for this bridge. Not as big or as long as many but still very nice from afar. I will show a photos of the whole thing in due course. I did a walk from Skye about half way across the bridge (just over the hump) to get a closer look at the lighthouse and views from here but the weather was poor.

Cheers. Herb
