Sluggan Bridge over the River Dulnain at Dalnahaitnach, Carrbridge, Inverness-shire.
Sluggan Bridge crosses the Dulnain River on the old General Wade Military road c1729 two miles upstream from Carrbridge. Wade originally crossed the Dulnain with a ford which was later replaced in the 1760s with a two-arch bridge. This was swept away during the great flood of the 3rd of August 1829, to be replaced by the current large single span bridge in the 1830s. The bridge has undergone a major repair in 2001 - 2002, by Sustrans as part of the National Cycle Network. Sluggan Bridge is category A listed and a scheduled monument. The Wade Road is an ancient right of way.
