The old Sligachan bridge on the isle of Skye

The Old Sligachan Bridge is probably one of the iconic sights on the Isle of Skye. Just off the main road, the bridge is set in the stunning landscape of the Cuilins with an amazing view of the Black Cuillins mountains.

Sligachan Bridge was built between 1810 and 1818 by Thomas Telford, with three spans, this rubble bridge has a pronounced hump going over river Sligachan. Today it is only for pedestrians or bicyclists.

I started walking along the track behind the bridge, along the river – pretty boggy but so beautiful.
