Heritage listing
Category B Date Added 05/10/1971 Local Authority Highland Planning Authority Highland Parish Urquhart And Glenmoriston NGR NH 41954 16572 Coordinates 241954, 816572 — 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'. — 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.
