Description

Mid 18th century, 2-span rubble bridge with tooled rubble
dressings. 2 unequal segmental dressed rubble arch rings
springing from natural flanking and centre rock abutments.
Further small flood arch at W bank and E approach carried on
3-span clapper bridge. Roughly tooled parapet, some portions
re-built. Approximate spans; W arch 60', E arch 45'.

Statement of Interest

Now by-passed. Though commonly believed to be by Thomas

Telford and though undoubtedly incorporated in line of road

built by Telford for the Commission for Highland roads and

Bridges in 1808-1811, this bridge appears structually to be

of mid-18th century date. Parapet re-built in 1984.

At this point River Moriston forms parish boundary with

Boleskine and Abertarff Parish.
