The lovely curve of the Kylesku Bridge in Sutherland, which replaced a ferry - or a 100 mile detour - in 1984. In our view this must be one of the most beautiful examples of the bridge-builder's art anywhere in the world. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kylesku/kylesku/index.html
