Broomhill Bridge

A plaque on the bridge informs us that "The last nail was driven home and the bridge opened to public traffic by the Right Honourable the Countess Dowager of Seafield on November 27th 1894". A smaller plaque records that it "was partially reconstructed in 1987 with the original appearance maintained".

Travelling west. At this point, there are fine open views to the left (south) of the road, looking down into the Spey Valley. The higher slopes of the hillside to the right (north) are wooded. The Cairngorm mountains provide a dramatic backdrop.
