22/26.- Excursions from Glasgow. Bridge of the Atlantic
Just some 12 miles south of Oban , off the A816, is the Bridge
of the Atlantic, a funny wee bridge that takes you high into
the sky and then quickly down the other side onto the Isle of
Seil. It was built in 1792 by a Mr. John Stevenson. There's
only one lane, so you need to breathe in as you wind your way
along the narrow winding road. One comforting thought is that
when you're dealing with just one lane, then you don't have
to worry about remembering to drive on the left! There is no
left or right, just the middle of the road. Oh no! Keep your
foot hovering above the brake, just to be on the safe side,
for you never know what's coming around that bend in the road.
