Scope and Content Bridge from east-south-east, Steading, Cluny Castle, Highland This shows the rubble-built, single-arched bridge over the river Allt Dobhrain by the steading. The crenellated (battlement-style) pier on the left was one of a pair which were at either side of the driveway beside the east lodge, built in the early 19th century. The bridge was probably built at the same time as most of the estate buildings. The majority of the estate's income would probably have come from renting farms and the sale of livestock and crops. The 'home farm' was the base for all the estate's agricultural operations. The design is functional rather than decorative but the stone used in the construction is similar to that used in the castle. Cluny Castle was built in 1805 for the Macphersons of Cluny and stands on the site of an earlier castle which was destroyed by fire in 1746. William Laidlaw Carruthers, Inverness, designed the north-west wing and the Queen Anne Revival-style porch c.1890. Many of the estate buildings were also built when the castle was rebuilt, including gate lodges, stables, meal mill, saw mill and walled gardens. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
