Glenlivet – Old Packhorse Brig   11 comments

The bridge is sited where the river tumbles through a narrow rocky gorge. The exact age of the bridge is unknown but it is thought to have been built in connection with the nearby Blairfindy castle. Blairfindy Castle (Glenlivet) was built by the Earl of Huntly in 1586. Two arches of the bridge now survive, the third having been ripped away by flood waters during the great "Muckle Spate" of 1829.
