Sligachan Old Bridge

avatar
@samalive
The Sligachan Old Bridge has an impressive history on its own, but what makes this location so incredible is the old folk tale about the enchanted waters that run under the viaduct. Legend has it that if you wash your face in the River Sligachan you'll gain eternal beauty — and whether or not you believe in the story, it's well worth the trip to the Isle of Skye to experience the bridge's undeniable presence.

This image of the Sligachan Old Bridge was taken from the south side of A87. I stood on the side of the road and then shot directly south to photograph this perspective. I recommend driving to this location and instead of taking your car on A87, I think it's best to park at Sligachan Old Bridge Car Park (57.290460, -6.170907) and then walk across A87.
