Dulsie Bridge

There's a lovely picnic area near this bridge, with a small gate that leads around to this viewing area.

Another Military Bridge

If you ask anyone who built all the stone arched bridges, the usual answer is "General Wade" -- of course, he didn't commission all of them, but the style of stone arched bridges seems to be inextricably linked to the military advance through Scotland. This, too, is a military-built bridge

This bridge is over the Findhorn River, and ahs two arches (although my viewpoint only showed one). The are not equal, giving the bridge a rather strange, lopsided appearance. It was built between 1814-17 on a military road from Fort George, and is still in use by a smal side-road. It is only four meters wide, though, so a bit of a tight squeeze.
