Tummel Bridge, River Tummel, Old Tummel Bridge

The double-arched bridge spans the River Tummel with a distinctive hump-backed design, measuring 3.5 meters in width and featuring one large span with a smaller northern arch.

Built in 1734 under Lieutenant General George Wade's infrastructure initiative, the bridge received its first major renovation in 1973, followed by additional conservation work in 2011.

The structure marks the geographical boundary between the parishes of Dull and Blair Atholl, representing a connection point between these historical Scottish communities.

The bridge now serves as a pedestrian crossing, located southeast of the modern B846 road bridge that handles current vehicular traffic across the River Tummel.

Two original worn milestones remain at the northern end of the bridge, preserving evidence of its military road heritage from the eighteenth century.
