Infirmary Bridge, suspension bridge in Inverness, Highland, Scotland, UK, carries a footpath across River Ness
Infirmary Bridge is a suspension footbridge in the Highlands that carries pedestrians across a deep valley. It hangs from steel cables and features wooden planking, spanning the gap between two wooded slopes while swaying slightly as you cross.
The bridge was built in the 19th century to provide access to a remote infirmary building. Today it stands as a listed structure and a remnant of that early engineering work.
You can access it from either side and the crossing is relatively short, though the swaying sensation can feel unsettling. Good footwear is important since the wooden surface can become slippery when wet.
