Old Pack Horse bridge Carrbridge bandw
The entry below is taken from the plaque the on the roadside overlooking the bridge.
"At the beginning of the eighteenth century, to the inconvienience of both travellers and local people, there was no point at which the River Dulnain could be crossed when in spate, and buriels at the Church of Duthil were often delayed.
Brigadier-General Alexander Grant of Grant, Clan Chief, commisioned John Niccelsone, a masson from Ballindaloch to build a bridge at Lynne of Dalrachney. Built between May and November 1717, the bridge was paid for out of stipends of the Parish of Duthil.
Its 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."
