Kylesku: The Curved Bridge and Britain's Tallest Waterfall

The Kylesku Bridge, a curved concrete box girder over the narrow strait between Loch Glencoul and Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin, opened in July 1984 and replaced the ferry that had crossed about 400 metres to the east; the Queen formally opened it on 8 August. Up Loch Glencoul, Eas a' Chual Aluinn falls 200 metres, the tallest waterfall in the United Kingdom. You can walk to the top of it — about six miles there and back on a rough path across boggy ground from the road south of Kylesku — or, in good weather, take the boat from the slipway by the Kylesku Hotel to Loch Beag and see it from the water.
