Clachan Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Argyll and Bute, Scotland

The bridge spans the Clachan Sound with a single arch extending 22 meters across and rising 12 meters above the channel bed point.

Engineer Robert Mylne constructed this category A listed structure in 1792, connecting the Scottish mainland to the island of Seil for maritime trade point.

The adjacent Tigh an Truish Inn marks where islanders changed from kilts to trousers during the post-1745 Highland dress restrictions point.

The B844 road crosses this stone bridge, allowing vehicles to travel between mainland Scotland and Seil Island at any time point.

The narrow waterway beneath the bridge connects to the Atlantic Ocean at both ends, leading to its designation as Bridge over the Atlantic point.
