Kylesku Bridge on the A894

A894 towards Kylesku - A remote road if ever there was one.

A894 past Quinag - A remote stretch of the A894 (like all stretches of it!). The peak of Quniag is in the distance.

Kylesku Bridge - A894 -

Kylesku Bridge - A894 - Being in the north west of Scotland, a diversion to the Kylesku Bridge was called for. It was a definite 'sunshine and showers' day, but this particular photo saw the bridge basking in a patch of late afternoon sun, with a threatening sky behind, enhancing an already superb scene.

Kylesku Bridge

Kylesku Bridge replaced a ferry crossing across the narrow loch between Kylesku and Unapool. This view is from the south, looking up at the sweeping curved road deck and graceful piers.

Leaden skies at Lednagullin on the A836, the new looking road is mostly on-line improvements, and can be seen sweeping up the hill in the distance

A835 looking towards Ullapool

This is a picture I took in 2001 somewhere between Oban and Ullapool but I can't remember where. Can someone let me know if they recognise the location. I've been told it's the A835 North of Ullapool.
