At Delachuper, the remains of a road bridge, which once formed part of the Coupar Angus to Fort George military road, are still visible. The structure is now ruinous, with only the north end of its single span remaining.
The bridge was built of rubble, and some of the larger stones from the structure now lie in the water, forming a crossing-place.
Military roads were built throughout highland Scotland in the eighteenth century, to allow the movement of Hanoverian troops. The building programme was begun by Major General George Wade, and continued by Major William Caulfeild.
