Aberfeldy, Tay Bridge

Comments :

The bridge was built from April until October 1733. The total cost was £3,596 or, in today's terms, over £1m. No reasonable expense had been spared. The best architect in Scotland, William Adam, was hired to design the structure and master masons were brought from the northern counties of England to spend all winter preparing the stone - a grey chlorite schist from a quarry at Farrochil about a mile to the south-west and the following summer constructing the bridge.
