Bridge over the Atlantic

The Clachan Bridge which is a single arched hump backed bridge spans the Clachan Sound which has both ends open to the Atlantic ocean thus it came to be called the bridge over the Atlantic, The service bus in the picture is crossing from the mainland and onto the Isle of Seil.
The bridge was constructed between 1792 and 1793 and is now in the care of Historic Scotland.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Doug Shepherd ^club

Many thanks Doug, I had a bit of time as the bus has to move slowly crossing over the hump otherwise it grounds out, I rather like this part of the Argyll coast.
