At Delavine there are the remains of a bridge, which was built in the mid-eighteenth century, as part of a military road. It underwent repair in 1998, after a partial collapse.
Constructed of rubble, the bridge consists of a single arch, and is just under 4m wide, with some of the parapet remaining.
During the eighteenth century, a series of military roads were built throughout highland Scotland, linking places of strategic importance. Major William Caulfeild, employed by General Wade as Inspector of Roads in 1732, built the section of road on which this bridge lay.
