Tour Scotland Video General Wade's Bridge Aberfeldy Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of Wade's Bridge over the River Tay at Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland. General Wade's Bridge which was built in 1733 and designed by architect William Adam, father of the more famous Robert Adam. General Wade considered this bridge to be his greatest accomplishments. Field Marshal George Wade, born 1673, died 14th March 1748, was a British Army officer who served in the Nine Years' War, War of the Spanish Succession, Jacobite rising of 1715 and War of the Quadruple Alliance before leading the construction of barracks, bridges and proper roads in Scotland. He went on to be a military commander during the War of the Austrian Succession and Commander-in-Chief of the Forces during the Jacobite rising of 1745. He is perhaps best remembered today for his destruction of many miles of Hadrian's Wall to the west of Newcastle upon Tyne in England, flattening it and using its foundations as the core of his Military Road in Northumberland. This was a response to the Jacobite rising of 1745.
