📍Old Packhorse Bridge, Carrbridge

The centre piece of Carrbridge, this is a famous landmark recognised by many of people, it is a hotspot for the locals to go swimming and even jumping off the bridge on a warm day.

The old packhorse bridge in Carrbridge in the Cairngorms National Park is the oldest stone bridge in the Highlands.

At the beginning of the eighteenth century, to the inconvenience of both travellers and local people, there was no point 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 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 Duthill.

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.

"We were so happy with our stay . We had dinner at the restaurant there one night and it was very good . Also they were so kind when they had to get into the room for a repair. They went above and beyond to be considerate. We loved the view of the castle from our room also. "
