Photographs of the Bridges
Telford Bridge, Invermoriston, Scotland
The stone bridge crossing the River Moriston near Loch Ness in Invermoriston, Scotland, was constructed by Thomas Telford. It was one of hundreds of bridges he constructed between 1803 and 1819 to improve the military roadway between Inverness and Fort Augustus. The bridge is now abandoned and partially in ruins, but can still be accessed on foot, and offers great views of the falls on the river.
Unfortunately, I was running late to catch a bus back to Inverness, and didn’t have time to get good photos of the bridge from the side. FYI for those choosing to hike the Great Glen Way between Drumnadrochit and Invermoriston – the numbers on the highway signs are in miles, not kilometers. What you may have thought would be a robust 16 kilometer hike (10 miles) is really a 16 MILE hike! Don’t be like me, and learn this when you have already walked halfway . . .
