A small footbridge ensures you don't get wet feet crossing the River Leonan on the North shore of Loch Awe. Ahead of you to the north-west is the impressive peak of Canisp, which at 847m is over 100 metres higher than it's much better known and more frequently visited neighbour, Suilven.

Very handy footbridge, without it there would be a very wet crossing and in some conditions it would be impossible to cross. This footbridge is the start of a fine adventure.
