Skibo Castle, Loch Ospisdale Bridge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Loch Ospisdale Bridge is a Post Medieval bridge built around 1810 on the Skibo Road in Sutherland. It still stands beside Skibo Castle, carrying people across water in a region where roads and bridges were often as important as the buildings they reached. The castle and bridge belong together: one is the destination, the other the approach, and both still mark the same Highland landscape.
