Description
Single-arch bridge on the Feolin-Lagg road built under the direction of the government Commissioners for Highland Roads and Bridges, probably around 1809/1810, the request to government for help with the road having been made around 1805 (Haldane 1973, 68; RCAHMS 1984, 319, 321). The road's primary purpose was to facilitate the cattle trade, with new harbours at both ends of the Jura road and at Port Askaig on Islay, and Keills, on the mainland.
This bridge is a single segmental-arched span over Abhainn a'Mhuilinn. It is entirely rubble-built, with slightly splayed parapets, and today is still recognisable from William Daniell's view of 1817 (reproduced in Walker 2002, 184).
