The Falls at Invermoriston

Telford’s Bridge (see previous post) spans the falls of the River Moriston at Invermoriston village.

The falls from the side of Thomas Telford’s Bridge:-

Looking to the “new” bridge, which was built in the 1930s:-

Thomas Telford’s Bridge at Invermoriston

Invermoriston lies near Loch Ness, in the Highlands, 7 miles from the loch’s foot at Fort Augustus.

Apart from some Highland cows in a field by the car park and its War Memorial (which I featured here) its most interesting feature is the bridge built by engineer Thomas Telford in 1813.

The bridge was superseded by a new one in the 1930s and its approaches are now in considerable disrepair:-

Viewing it from down on the river from the other side of the bridge reveals its two arches:-
