Measuring 46 metres in length, the Bridge of Oich is an innovative 'taper principle' suspension bridge spanning the River Oich – part of the Great Glen. Designed by English brewer-turned-engineer, James Dredge, it was built in 1854 after floods destroyed the old stone bridge that stood here previously.

The bridge was used by all traffic until it was bypassed in 1932. It was restored by Historic Scotland and re-opened to pedestrian traffic in 1997.
