Clachan Bridge [NAT]
OS 1:10,000 map, 1978.
(Location cited as NM 785 197). Clachan Bridge, built 1792. A large segmental rubble bridge, with oculi in spandrels. Known as the 'bridge over the Atlantic'.
J R Hume 1977.
This bridge carries the B844 public road over Clachan Sound (a northern continuation of Seil Sound), and thus gives access from the mainland to the island of Seil (to the W). Clachan Sound here forms the boundary between the parishes of Kilbrandon and Kilchattan (to the W) and Kilninver and Kilmelfort (to the E).
