Aerial Drone View of Kylesku Bridge Taken From Above Loch Gleann Dubh During Morning Blue Hour, Highlands, Scotland
This image was taken at about 6.30 on an autumn morning right near the very north of the Scottish Highlands. We have overnighted the motorhome in Scourie parked looking out toward the North Atlantic Ocean. We had passed over the bridge on the way to the campsite and got up very early to return. The shot was taken using the Hasselblad camera on the DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone.
Kylesku is located where Loch Glencoul and Loch Gleann Dubh join to form a sea passage Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin which links to Eddrachillis Bay. It is in the Scottish council area of Highland.
The village stretches back along the road from the slipway that used to be the southern end of the ferry crossing. Now by-passed by the main road carried over the bridge, the Kylesku Hotel overlooks the slipway. Nearby is Eas a' Chual Aluinn, Britain's highest waterfall. This can be visited on a boat trip aboard Rachael Clare.
Kylesku sits at the centre of a 2,000 km2 (770 sq mi) area which has become Scotland's first 'Global Geopark'. There is abundant wildlife and a wide range of outdoor pursuits in or on the lochs, mountains and white sandy beaches, including bird watching, seal and otter spotting, fishing, climbing and hill walking.
The Kylesku Bridge (officially known since 2019 by its Gaelic name Drochaid a' Chaolais Chumhaing) is a distinctively curved concrete box girder bridge in north-west Scotland that crosses the Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin in Sutherland. It is listed as category A, the highest grade.
It was constructed by building out the supporting legs and then lifting into place the central span, which had been constructed on land and then moved onto a barge by rail and weighed 640 tonnes (630 long tons; 710 short tons). The bridge opened to traffic in July 1984, and was formally opened by the Queen on 8 August 1984.
In 2019, the bridge was classified by Historic Environment Scotland as a Category A structure, recognising it as "visually striking and technically innovative". It was also officially renamed to the Gaelic translation of its name, Drochaid a' Chaolais Chumhaing.
Beach Huts
The beach huts at Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk are iconic for their vibrant colors, unique designs, and picturesque setting along a vast sandy beach backed by pine woodlands, part of the Holkham National Nature Reserve. Perched on stilts to withstand dramatic tides, these cherished huts have become a symbol of the British seaside, often passed down through generations. They offer a cozy base for visitors to enjoy the ever-changing landscape, inspiring photographers, artists, and filmmakers alike, and many are available for rental, adding charm and practicality to this idyllic destination.
Turquoise Waters and White Stones on a Sunlit Shore
