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: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kyl

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: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kyl
