~ The bridge has long since been washed away and crossing the river can involve a long detour at times, particularly  at high tide. The black sand is comminuted gabbro - not pollution! Note the old cultivation ridges.

~ There being little alternative, the next thing I did after taking this photo was to cross it. Most of the wire handrail and a good number of  the treads were missing, and bridge-sag brought the water up past knee-level at halfway.  As a non-swimmer,  I think this was the scariest thing I've ever done in the Scottish hills. 

A conjunction of spring tide and spate washed it all away a few years later.
