The bridge is still there,ruined now,a sight well worth seeing as it spans a river gorge(the Spean) and was a wonderful piece of engineering for its time.I tried to get a photo yesterday,but the river was raging at 20ft above normal level so I will have to wait.
I can't wait 
ah, the history you have...I hope one day to come visit & see it in person.
In the meantime thanks again for sharing it
