Despite the name, not for cars!

Carrbridge Packhorse Bridge, also known as Coffin Bridge, is a historic packhorse bridge in the village of Carrbridge, in the Scottish Highlands. The bridge was built in 1717 to allow funeral processions to reach Duthil Church by crossing the River Dulnain. The parapets were washed away in the 19th century.


It is the Scottish Highlands' oldest known stone bridge.[3][4][5]

That doesn't look like it would hold a horse

Let alone a pack horse...

There's strength in arches. [35:24]

Nevermind a car.

Next you'll tell me it's not a bridge either

It's actually a portal into the world of kelpies and selkies!
