Scope and Content Invercauld Bridge, Aberdeenshire This bridge was built as a military road bridge under the superintendence of Major Edward Caulfeild, during the road-building programme which followed the Jacobite rising of 1745-6. It was the largest of the military road bridges. This view shows the bridge from the east. It has six spans, all segmental, rising to a hump over the largest span. There are massive triangular cutwaters, but these are not taken up to form refuges. This bridge was bypassed in 1859, when Invercauld Bridge was built, and is now in the care of Historic Scotland.
