What is recorded here
Cambyses: Castle Bay on Barra is a 19th-century brig recorded in the national heritage register. It is a small wooden bridge spanning a narrow watercourse in the Hebrides, built to carry people and carts across wet ground. The structure may have joined farmland, a settlement or a coastal route, and it still marks the moment when human hands shaped the landscape.
