(Location cited as NJ 039 264). Old Spey Bridge, Grantown. This 3-span rubble bridge crosses the river Spey and was built as a miltary bridge in 1754. A weak design, it has unusually deep spandrels, which have been strengthened with old rail; the segmental arches increase in size towards the Moray side. The smallest arch was rebuilt after the great flood of 1829.
J R Hume 1977.

This bridge formerly carried the military road MR 9 across the River Spey, which here forms the boundary between the parishes of Cromdale and Abernethy, to the S of Grantown-on-Spey.
