This bridge has a section almost to itself not because it is particularly important but because it doesn't fit anywhere else! There are various explanations as to why such a small bridge was given the name the Atlantic Bridge but the best is that the small waterway which passes beneath it is not a river but a stretch of sea dividing the mainland from the Isle of Seil and is therefore technically a bit of the Atlantic!! Whatever the reason what you can't see in this shot because it is carefully concealed behind me is the car park full of double decker buses stuffed with old age pensioners.

In a similar category are these beehive shaped food stores (Alan's shots) still largely standing on the Garvellachs Islands and ......................
