The Old Packhorse Bridge - Carrbridge (Video)

Within the Cairngorms National Park is the small town of Carrbridge. Here you can see a quaint old bridge with a plaque nearby which gives it's history as follows -

At the beginning of the eighteenth century, to the inconvenience of both travellers and local people, there was no pint at which the River Dulnain could be crossed when it was in spate, and burials at the Church of Duthil were often delayed.

Brigadier - General Alexander Grant of Grant, Clan Chief, commissioned John Niccelsone, a mason from Ballindalloch, to build a bridge at Lynne of Dalrachney. Between May and November 1717, the bridge was paid for out of stipends of the Parish of Duthil.

It's parapets and side walls were badly damaged in the 18th century and again in the famous flood of August 1829, giving the appearance it still has today.
