The Old Packhorse Bridge, Carrbridge
Image taken : 2011-04-27 - 09:20, Canon EOS 40D, EF-S 17-85mm F/4-5.6 IS USM @ 20.00mm, 1/15sec, f18, ISO400.
The bridge, built in 1717, is the oldest stone bridge in the Highlands. It was severely damaged in the "muckle spate" of 1829 which left it in the condition seen today. In 1847 someone wrote to the Inverness Courier giving it as an example of one of the "all but deserted [bridges of which] the most useful and picturesque ought to be preserved". It is now unstable and is recommended only to be viewed from afar.
