Deep in the woods of Invercreran, there is this magical bridge spanning over a little creek. You can imagine some fairies hovering over the water at night. Who ever built this bridge knew what he or she was doing.

The history of the Fairy Bridge of Glen Creran is somewhat unclear. It is believed to be a little over 500 years old. Although no exact date is known, it is assumed that the bridge was built around 1500. Somehow you get the impression that the hobbits from the film "Lord of the Rings" are about to come around the corner. A very fascinating and somewhat magical place. What was the reason back then for building such an elaborate little bridge at this point when a simple wooden bridge would have done just as well? We will probably never know.
