Footbridge over East Loch Olaidh exit burn This footbridge is upstream from the much more substantial one shown in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7320487">NF7630 : Bridge for peat track East Loch Olaidh</a>. The track on the right bank of the burn continues beyond the vehicle bridge. The masonry work retaining the banks of the burn has survived well over the past 200 years.
