Highbridge, Scotland
Highbridge is located on the River Spean, 2 kilometres downstream from the village of Spean Bridge in the Scottish Highlands. The village takes its name from this bridge. The bridge was originally built by General Wade in 1736 (at a cost of £1,087) as the crossing of the River Spean on his Inverness to Fort William military road. This bridge was superseded in 1819 by a new bridge further upstream, designed by Thomas Telford.
