Kylesku Bridge
Drochaid Chaolas Cumhang
An elegant curved concrete bridge spanning the narrows of Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin, framed by mountains and sea lochs, and a signature view of the NC500 route.
Kylesku Bridge was built in 1984. Its graceful curved concrete box girder spans the Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin strait, replacing the former ferry. It has won several architectural awards. Behind it rise Quinag and other mountains, and it is one of the most photographed views on the NC500 North Coast 500 route. There is a car park and viewpoint at the north end of the bridge. Not far to the south is the Kylesku Hotel, famous for seafood lunches. From its jetty, boats depart for the highest waterfall in Britain and a seal habitat. It is about an hour's drive from Ullapool.
