The Isle of Skye is full of rugged landscapes, gorgeous coastlines, endless wandering sheep and peculiar folk legends, like the tale from Sligachan Old Bridge. Legend has it that if you stick your face in the river for seven seconds and then let it dry off naturally, you’ll be granted eternal beauty — and whether or not you believe in the story, it's well worth the trip 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 south to photograph this perspective of the viaduct.
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.
