Full Description
Site of the mid 18th century Cock Bridge built as part of a military road-building programme linking Coupar Angus and Fort George. The bridge was built of rubble, and consisted of a single arch crossing the Allt Bad Mhic Griogair. The original bridge was demolished in the late 1980s to create a new bridge across the burn (slightly to the southwest) to ease traffic congestion. The new bridge (NJ20NE0132) incorporates some of the materials of the original bridge.
