The historic Whitebridge, named after the colouring of its stonework, was constructed in 1732 under the overall supervision of General Wade as part of a military road linking Fort Augustus and Inverness.

The Whitebridge crossed the River Fechlin and was used by road traffic for 200 years until a new road bridge was added alongside the old bridge in the 1930s. The Whitebridge is a fine example of a single-arch ‘Wade’ bridge. The old bridge is markedly humped, probably to counter high water levels when the river was in flood.
