Engineering as a beautiful work of art. This is the Kylesku Bridge on the west coast of Sutherland, seen in summer and in winter. The bridge replaced the Kylesku Ferry - or a 100 mile detour via Lairg - when it opened in 1984. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kylesku/kylesku/index.html

A view from above the Kylesku bridge of the peaks of Quinag in Sutherland, a "Y" shaped mountain that dominates the landscape north of Loch Assynt. Quinag offers three separate mountains over 2,500ft (Corbetts) in a single day's outing. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kylesku/quinag/index.html

A couple of stags on the rocky heathery bluff opposite the #Kylesku Bridge car park. Most people didn't notice them.

Still on a bit of a #Monochrome industrial theme at the moment.

I'm delighted the #JohnMuirTrust has purchased property at #Kylesku #Scotland and plans to work with the community there to strengthen the bond between people and #nature https://www.johnmuirtrust.org/whats-new/news/1410-john-muir-trust-buys-45-acre-kylesku-in-assynt

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND

We follow the twisting single track B869 north and then east to join the main road south of Kylesku. Until 1984 the crossing of the loch at Kylesku was accomplished by ferry: or by a 100 mile detour inland via Lairg. Then the stunningly beautiful Kylesku Bridge upened to traffic.

The lovely curve of the Kylesku Bridge in Sutherland, which replaced a ferry - or a 100 mile detour - in 1984. In our view this must be one of the most beautiful examples of the bridge-builder's art anywhere in the world. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kylesku/kylesku/index.html

It’s #PhotoMonday time, so here’s one of my favourite sunsets — I love how the sun reflects in the water and especially around the land, see how the reflection “bends” around the bit of land in the foreground for example.

This was take from #Kylesku, a small, remote fishing hamlet in #Sutherland in the #Highlands of #Scotland.
