Old Photograph Roman Bridge Glen Lyon Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of the Roman Bridge in Glen Lyon, Perthshire, Scotland. This old pack horse bridge in Glen Lyon is known as the Roman Bridge though it more than likely dates from the 18th or 19th Century. Glen Lyon is a corruption from the Gaelic " lithe " meaning " flood ", a frequent state of the River Lyon. Robert Campbell of Glenlyon, born 1630, 1696, led the detachment of government troops responsible for the infamous Glencoe Massacre, of the MacDonalds of Glencoe in 1691. The glen has been home to many families, including MacGregors, Lyons, Menzies, Stewarts, Macnaughtans, MacGibbons and the Campbells of Glen Lyon.
