Craigellachie Bridge was designed by celebrated engineer Thomas Telford and built from 1812-14. The bridge, which has a single span of 151 feet (46 metres), was revolutionary for its time as it used an extremely slender arch which was not possible using traditional methods of the time. It is a Category A listed structure.

There is parking to see the bridge just off the main road and also in Craigellachie. Just off the Speyside way, would be easy to see it. You can walk across and along the old main road. There’s also a good view from the new main road bridge.
