------
(Location cited as NH 575 975). Bridge, Inveran, early 19th century. A handsome three-span bridge with segmental arches and triangular cutwaters; the central arch is larger than the other two. The arch rings are of ashlar and the spandrels are coursed rubble. By-passed.
J R Hume 1977.
This bridge was built by John Mitchell in 1822, and is now by-passed; the road is grassed-over and not safe. It is a picturesque hump of three segmental arches, built of coursed rubble with ashlar arch rings.
G Nelson 1990.
This bridge carries the former line of the A837 public road over the River Shin.
Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 6 May 1998.
