The old bridge was built between 1810 and 1818. There are some beautiful myths surrounding them, such as that dipping one's face into the River Sligachan at the bridge bestows eternal beauty ("The enchanted waters under the Sligachan Bridge"). You really have to dip your face, not wet your face with your hands, and then not dry your face either.

Allt Dearg Mor Waterfalls

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Sligachan you can take a nice hike towards the Black Cullins. Even without climbing the summit, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of Glen Sligachan on this easy hiking tour. The path leads over a tributary of the Sligachan River, the Allt Dearg Mor. This is criss-crossed by many small rocks and waterfalls. From the bridge, which was renewed sometime in the last few years, you have a beautiful view of the river.

Bruach na Frithe Summit

Highlight • Climb

Bruach na Frithe is one of the easier Munros in the Cuillin, giving hikers access to the crest without the trepidation involved with most outings on the famously challenging ridge. Its summit is regarded as one of the finest mountain viewpoints on the island.

Nevertheless, it's still a tough mountain hike by usual UK standards, with plenty of rocky terrain. The usual approach is from the Sligachan Hotel via Fionn Choire, while the narrow northwest ridge gives scrambling interest.
