Old Photograph Butter Bridge Glen Kinlas Scotland
Old photograph of Butter Bridge in Glen Kinlas to the west of the Rest And Be Thankful road in Argyll, Scotland. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. The bridge takes its name from the historic tradition of bringing cattle high up into the glen in the summer months for pasture. It was often the women who tended to the cattle, milking them and so producing butter and cheese in this remote spot. It was built, as part of the military road network connecting Inveraray with Glasgow via the Rest and be Thankful, sometime before 1768, when the road was repaired.
