Carrbridge packhorse bridge

Summary

Description
English: It was a cold but beautifully sunny day, so I endeavoured to capture this ancient landmark without any "modern" iterms (houses, vehicles etc) straying into the shots - to illustrate the view as it would have been a century or more ago. And then I converted the shots to grey-scale to drive home the historical viewpoint.

The river is the Dulnain, which is a tributary of the Spey - which it joins a few miles away at Dulnain Bridge, near Grantown on Spey. This bridge is just upstream of the current road bridge (formerly part of the A9 trunk road) in the centre of the village of Carr Bridge.

"Carrbridge's most famous landmark is the old packhorse bridge, from which the village is named. The bridge, built in 1717,is the oldest stone bridge in the Highlands.It was severely damaged in the "muckle spate" of 1829 which left it in the condition seen today. It is now unstable and is recommended only to be viewed from afar." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrbridge#Attractions
