Designed in 1854 by James Dredge this cantilever bridge over the River Oich was used up to 1932. Today traffic goes over the Caledonian Canal at the nearby Aberchalder swing bridge.
Lovely bridge which has been kept very well maintained. Connect to a walking trail which is very picturesque. Love the... view from the bridge on both sidesread more
Gorgeous bridge, remarkable construction, and wonderful encapsulation of history. This bridge definitely worth a stop!... When you cross the bridge you can only go one way because the other end leads on the private land. The surrounds are lovely. At the Bridge of Oich there is a small carpark just over bridge. Takes 5 cars. Beautifully preserved bridge over River Oich. Pedestrian only.read more
Lovely but very small ? Make sure you take the southern road if you come from Inverness - lovely drive and very few... tourists compared to the other side.read more
Great place for paddleboarding. Launched from the pontoon then paddled into Loch Oich. Had a fun time going down the... weir and into the river. Good for a beginner with the water conditions the way they were.read more
Same as the other bridges, with spectating view of nature. Not a time spent place but a nice place for caravan stop.... Here, the bridge will turn open for the boats which enjoy there day in water rides. A nice experience over all???read more
Beautiful bridge, however i was very dissapointed, as im currently walking from lands End to John O Groats, the Great... Glen Way path runs through the estate and then onto the bridge, according to Ordnance survey, but the Estate has closed it off. The bridge is still walkable but its the same way off as the way on. Pretty views over the river.read more
Actually pretty cool! Definitely read the information sign before crossing the bridge, then take a good look at the... cables to understand the physics of how it works. Very clever. Also it's a bit bouncy, which is always fun! Nice little place for a walk around, admiring the canal, river and loch, to be honest.read more
As you cycle the Caledonian canal you will find this stunning spot and amazing Victorian engineering/art.... Be sure to... take a minute to have a good look. Try jumping up and down on it and let your family feel the tremors :-)read more
We were in Scotland for a weeks holiday and ate here twice it was so good. We could have eaten at cheaper places I.e.... the pubs by the canal, but The Boathouse has good food and a nice view. The service is great, with the servers making you feel welcome and relaxed. The food is good quality and tasty with enough to be filling without over doing it. The view of Loch Ness whilst sitting outside having a drink at sunset is awesome.We will probably go back here next year.read more
This historic bridge was engineered by James Dredge in 1854. It was used by traffic until 1932. It now serves as a... viewpoint for the River Oich and is right beside the Caledonian Canal. This is a nice place to stop between Fort Augustus and Invergarry. It is a natural meeting point.read more
Historic bridge built to replace an earlier stone bridge which got washed away in a severe flood.The "chains" are made... up of cast iron rods linked together to give the suspension of the deck. The stone towers, arched together at each end hold the chain link.A newer stone bridge was later built to enable heavier loads to cross.read more
It's a bridge, nothing more or less. Fantastic views, an active swing bridge next to it and a fair bit of history.... Oh, and views. Stunning viewsread more
Great place. Stayed over in the rooms which are well situated, clean and well appointed. We had breakfast in this cafe... in the morning which was super tasty and reasonably priced. Plus, we loved the infographic wall art which provided some background information on the history of the Caledonian canal while we were powering up for the day.read more
We stopped by to snap some more of the incredible beauty highlands had to offer. We were lucky to witness the bridge... open up for boat to pass through at this location. Beautiful scenery and loads of kayaking lessons aroundread more
