Quinag, Sutherland - a photo on Flickriver

Quinag, Sutherland

            Looking to the three peaked Quinag from beside the Kylesku Bridge.

The Kylesku bridge in Sutherland, North West Scotland, replaced the Kylesku Ferry in July 1984.  The original ferry was no more than a rowing boat but a car carrying ferry was introduced between the first and second world war.  The ferry was replaced in 1984 when the bridge opened.

I can remember travelling on the ferry as a child many times but the last time would be in the mid to late 1970s and it was only in 2021 that I returned.  The scenery looks no different but in that time the bridge has already become a grade A listed building.  Certainly made the journey very quick but there was a certain sadness when I thought about  how this had effectively shrunk the Highlands.  

Kylesku is a small settlement in north-west Sutherland, where Loch Glencoul and Loch Glendhu join to flow through Loch a' Chairn into Eddrachillis Bay.
