Built in 1717, the old packhorse bridge across the River Dulnain at Carrbridge is the oldest known stone bridge in the Highlands – and one of the most iconic visitor attractions in the Cairngorms. The bridge was built to allow funeral processions to access Duthil Church when the river was in spate. Because of this, the bridge was known locally as ‘the coffin bridge’.

To get here, park in Carrbridge car park (57°16’57.1″N 3°48’48.2″W) and walk to the bridge, Glencharnoch Wood is also walkable from here:
