Old Travel Blog Photograph Old Bridge Lochinver Scotland

Old travel Blog photograph of the old bridge over the River Inver at Lochinver, Sutherland, Scotland. As the A837 enters the small port of Lochinver it has to cross the River Inver. There are two bridges crossing the river, an old stone arch and a new girder bridge set at a skew across the river. Still used by traffic, the old bridge appears to be a late 19th Century single stone arch, spanning the river. It is single track, and now used by traffic heading to Baddidarach, with traffic coming out of the village using the old A837 alignment on the north bank of the river. The road would formerly have doglegged across the bridge, with right angled bends at both ends. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
