the bridge that has a hungry face ;)
Clachan Bridge on the Isle of Seil also referred to as the "Bridge over the Atlantic"
The Bridge over the Atlantic has a number of candidates, but the most well known example is probably that of the humpbacked Clachan Bridge joining tiny Seil Island with the Scottish mainland. Lying on the B844, a little over ten miles south of Oban, the bridge spans the tidal waters of the Atlantic at Clachan Sound. Although the bridge is part of a single track road, and with a sufficiently steep hump to obscure any view of oncoming traffic, both approach roads are clear and open, allowing ample opportunity to ensure clear passage.
The bridge was completed between 1792 and 1793.
Around May of each year, the bridge takes on a purple appearance, as the flower of the rare Fairy Foxglove (Erinus Alpinus) covers much of its surface.
