Old Packhorse Bridge, Carrbridge
 
18th April 2023 - Old Packhorse Bridge, Carrbridge has been on my photography wish list to photograph for some time. I got there.

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

Brigader-General Alexander Grant of Grant, Clan Chief, commissioned John Niccelsone, a mason from Ballindalloch to build a bridge at Lynne of Dalrachney. Build 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 floods of August 1829, giving the appearance it still has today.

There is a viewing point down some wooden steps. I found it was better to photograph from the nearby modern road bridge. Plenty parking nearby. Post Code is PH23 3AS

Here are 15 images I got at my first photography location of the day - Dunrobin Castle and Gardens
