Highbridge, Scotland

The bridge was originally built by General Wade in 1736 (at a cost of £1,087) as the crossing of the River Spean on his Inverness to Fort William military road.

Highbridge was last repaired in 1893, but partially collapsed in 1913, and only the piers now remain.

[1] It was the site of the first action of the Jacobite rising of 1745, the Highbridge Skirmish, when a small number of Keppoch MacDonalds fooled a company of troops led by Captain Scott into thinking the bridge was heavily defended.

The government troops retreated and were pursued to Loch Oich, where they surrendered.
