Built in 1762

Can't believe that councils have been building these (removed) pedestrian bridges that far back. We don't need more walking bridges that no one uses, they should have build a 4 lane motor way for the trucks that keep our enlightenment economy going!

[Here](https://i.imgur.com/odIwJmu.jpg) is a picture of it from the 1920's. Per [here](https://www.ambaile.org.uk/asset/32503/1/): > This postcard shows Little Garve Bridge, Garve. > Little Garve is in Ross and Cromarty, two miles west of Garve > This eighteenth century bridge, with its elegant arches and high hump, crosses a deep chasm where the Black Water River tumbles dramatically over rocks and boulders. > The bridge carried the military road from Contin to Poolewe, although the road has mostly disappeared. > In the aftermath of the 1715 Jacobite Rebellion a massive road building programme, under General Wade, was undertaken in Scotland allowing easier troop movements in order to suppress the population. The military bridge at Little Garve was constructed around 1762 and is thought to be the work of Major Caulfield who succeeded General Wade. > Little Garve was a resting place for drovers taking cattle from the west to markets in the south. Cattle were shoed here so that their feet would cope with the long miles of walking on harder roads. The drovers went on to gather at Muir of Ord, where a big fair was held, before heading to Crieff or Falkirk. It is still possible to walk the old drove road, known as the Fish Merchant's route, for six miles from Little Garve to Aultguish Inn.

But do they call me MacGregor The Bridge Builder? No!
