Description The Carrbridge Packhorse bridge over the river Dulnain was built in 1717 and it is the oldest stone bridge in the Highlands. It is a narrow bridge intended for packhorses and had low parapets so as not to interfere with the horses' panniers. The arch is constructed from rubble masonry as you can see in the photo below. I am amazed it is still standing after 300 years!
