A dramatic NC500 stretch over the soaring Kylesku Bridge.
The A894 runs through the wild Assynt country to the elegant curved span of the Kylesku Bridge, one of the high points of the North Coast 500. It is single-track in places with blind summits above the sea lochs; use the passing places and let faster locals through.
