Clachan Bridge I, which links the mainland to the island of Seil and is also known as the Bridge over the Atlantic, Argyll, Scotland.
“Sod work, looks like it will be the last decent day in a while.” says a kayaker zipping up his wetsuit at Clachan Bridge. He’s right, but today is magic for photography with golden autumn light, clear and cold so telephoto shots are sharp without any heat haze softening the image.

I’m taking it gently as it’s my first day walking with a backpack after the stress response injury nine weeks ago. As the day progresses I forget about my leg for longer and longer intervals. It’s also much easier to navigate over the off-trail sections now the heather has died back.

It was hard to tear myself away from this view.
An alluring stretch of path near Seil.
The off-trail sections are much easier now the bracken has died down.

Thank you so much. Such rugged beauty. Made my morning to look at your pictures and try to imagine what it must have been like to have been there. Makes me hope to visit Scotland. some day though I think I wouldn’t have a clue how to pronounce half the place names.
Now you know where to visit first! Don’t worry about garbling the pronunciation, the locals will be very quick to correct you 😉
Stunning imagery. Thanks again for sharing. Sorry to hear about your injury; glad your in the move again. Shalom!
I’ve done 30 days walking since the injury now – just very behind on the editing! Shalom to you too!
Beautiful photographs!
Thank you, it was perfect light for it.
What a beautiful country. You must be glad to be out amongst it again.
Absolutely!
Good to see you back on the ‘road’ again. Lovely images.
Thanks, it’s good to be back.
Great to have you back Quintin !
Thanks Bob!
Great to see your photos again. Amazing bridge. The weather still looks quite good! Hope injury doesnt reoccur.
Stunning bridge isn’t it. Yes this was back in November and I’ve since done 30 days walking including a winter ascent if Ben Nevis without the injury reoccuring so fingers crossed. I’ve switched from trial shoes to leather boots which is helping in this terrain.
Good news about injury. Looking forward to Ben Nevis photos!
It was good and snowy on the top!
Lovely to see your posts again. I was staying near this fantastic bridge on Clachan Seil last year. Beautiful spot, so peaceful.
I hear the pub is very good, I was there in the morning so couldn’t sample its delights!
Such wonderful light in Scotland.
There’s nothing quite like it
We stayed in a cottage on Seill Island a few years ago and we spotted eagles, we crossed the bridge over the Atlantic it was stunning.
Sounds like a perfect trip
Loving revisiting your blog and Seil island where I lived for 6 years. However, you can’t see Being Nevis from this spot. The hills you have photographed are the Appin Alps.
