    Walking across this suspension bridge made out of rusty metal and wood is an interesting experience. The bridge sways slightly when moving across it. Good views of the Hut of the Shadows from here.

      bridge is officially closed, no way to even attempt to cross it now

        The Sponish Suspension Bridge is a footbridge that crosses a sea inlet north of Lochmaddy. The bridge leads to the Hut of Shadows. The bridge was originally a rope bridge, but it was rebuilt by the council and the army in the late 1980s. However, the bridge is now in need of repair and officially closed, so crossing it may be risky.
