NB1634 : The Great Bernera Bridge and Standing Stones
taken 17 years ago, near to Barraglom, Great Bernera, Na h-Eileanan an Iar, Scotland
The Great Bernera Bridge and Standing Stones
Opened in 1953. It was the first example of a bridge made of pre-stressed concrete girders in the UK. A model of the bridge was exhibited at the 1951 festival of Britain. It totally transformed the island of great Bernera - which might have become uninhabited without the bridge crossing the Sruth Iarsiadar.
Link The standing stones are probably the remains of a stone circle and have watched over this obvious crossing point for several millennia.
