Isle of Skye Bridge from Plock Viewpoint

Ah, the Isle of Skye! This piece takes you straight to Plock Viewpoint, where the landscape unfolds like a well-loved storybook. Picture this: a winding road that dances along the coast, flanked by vibrant yellow gorse and shimmering waters. The bridge stretches gracefully across the bay, connecting the land like a friendly handshake.

Clouds play peek-a-boo with the sun, casting playful shadows on the hills, while the distant mountains stand guard, adding a touch of drama to the scene. It’s a snapshot of nature’s finest, where every element seems to be in on the joke, whispering, “Isn’t this just lovely?”

This artwork isn’t just a view; it’s an experience waiting to brighten your space. Perfect for those who appreciate the beauty of the great outdoors with a side of whimsy!

This image was taken from the purpose built viewing point high above the bridge in the village of Plock.

The Skye Bridge (Scottish Gaelic: Drochaid an Eilein Sgitheanaich) is a road bridge over Loch Alsh, Scotland, connecting the Isle of Skye to the island of Eilean Bàn. The name is also used for the whole Skye Crossing, which further connects Eilean Bàn to the mainland across the Carrich Viaduct. The crossing forms part of the A87.

Traditionally, the usual route from the mainland to Skye was the shortest crossing, with a length of around 500 metres (1,640 ft), across the sound between the villages of Kyle of Lochalsh on the mainland and Kyleakin on the island's east coast. A ferry service operated from around 1600, run by private operators and latterly by Caledonian MacBrayne.

Road and rail connections to Kyle of Lochalsh were constructed towards the end of the 19th century and various parties proposed building a bridge to the island. Although the engineering task was well within the capability of the age (the crossing is shorter and shallower than that bridged by the Forth Bridge), the island's remoteness and small population meant that the cost could not be justified.

Pssst!...there is also a framed version of this piece
