Sligachan Old Bridge, built between 1810 and 1818 by Thomas Telford, is now pedestrian and cyclist-only after the road was modernized. Heralded as a heritage site in the 1970s, its status was lifted in 2016. It is said that if you splash your face under the bridge for seven seconds and let it dry naturally, the fairies will grant you "eternal beauty." This legend arose from the mythical battle between Scáthach and Cúchulainn. And if you're into real history, here in 1395, the MacLeods stopped an invasion on their own land.
