Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Great Bernera Bridge and Standing Stones Opened in 1953. It was the first example of a bridge made of pre-stressed concrete girders in the UK. A model of the bridge was exhibited at the 1951 festival of Britain. It totally transformed the island of great Bernera - which might have become uninhabited without the bridge crossing the Sruth Iarsiadar.
