Old travel Blog photograph of Tory Bridge by Dunning, Perthshire, Scotland. The Tory Bridge, or Brig, crosses the Dunning Burn which runs through a wooded den. It is believed that the bridge was named by, for or after the local farmers, who voted Tory and used the bridge to bypass the village of Dunning, where most of the voters had Whig sympathies in the 18th and 19th centuries. Dunning is situated at the south east of Strathearn in Perthshire. Dunning was burnt after the Battle of Sheriffmuir by the retreating Jacobite army.
