Just under the 'sh' of the word 'Corriedhalloch' in the image below,
about half an inch, you can just
discern the suspension cable with three darkish dots, on the same
level, which are the intrepid souls
who have ventured onto the bridge. Introduces a perspective aspect, does
it not?
"It's a dizzying and exhilarating experience to look down on the
torrent of water
plunging 46m (150ft) over the Falls of Measach from the gently swaying suspension
bridge.
Corrieshalloch Gorge is one of the natural wonders of the Highlands and
not to be missed,
especially after periods of rain. The river has carved a spectacular mile-long
box canyon
through hard metamorphic rock, and the suspension bridge, built in 1874
to a design by
John Fowler, offers the best view of it. Fowler later went on to collaborate
on another
Scottish landmark - the Forth Railway Bridge."
