The old packhorse bridge at Carrbridge

I had hoped to ski today but although the snow was good the visibility at Cairngorm was poor (I should have gone to Glencoe as the Scottish News showed it to be a nice day there with the most snow for 20 years!) so I decided to go for a walk instead and took some nice long exposure shots of the stream coming off Cairngorm. However on the way back I stopped at Carrbridge to take the bridge. It was built in 1717 by the stonemason John Niccelsone to allow funeral processions to carry coffins to the Duthil church when the river was in spate and is apparently the oldest stone bridge in the Highlands. It was damaged by the muckle spate in 1829 which left it in its present state. Although the shot is a bit of a cliche I quite like it.
