About this spot
Spanning the waters of the Sound of Harris, the Scalpay Bridge stands as a remarkable feat of engineering, connecting the Isle of Scalpay to the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides.
Prior to the bridge's construction in 1997, residents of Scalpay relied on a sporadic ferry service, often disrupted by harsh weather conditions. The Scalpay Bridge brought a sense of liberation and convenience to the islanders, easing their daily commute and facilitating the exchange of goods and services.
The bridge's sleek, graceful design complements the natural beauty of its surroundings, becoming an iconic landmark on the Hebridean landscape.
