The Old Packhorse Bridge |
I think this is the remains of the bridge built in 1717, the cost of construction being a mind blowing £100. Its main purpose was to ensure that funeral parties could cross the River Dulnain with dry feet when the river was in spate.
You are still able if you are very brave walk across this bridge and pose for photos, we didnt this time. I would love to visit when the river is raging down this narrow stretch.
Posing on the pavement |
Not so lucky this weekend, we got soaked on the way home it could have been worse only had to ride from Ballater in a drookit state.
Its been good catching up with friends and hearing all about their travels in the past 12 months.
