Inverfarigaig Bridge is a single span stone bridge, which was built in 1732. It has now been fenced off as it is in a very unstable condition. Only the arch ring and the bridge abutment remain where the SW side of the bridge has collapsed. There are loose and cracked sections of stone in other parts and vegetation is to be seen growing between the stones.
M Logie (Highland Council) 1997; NMRS, MS/1007/3.
This bridge carries the former line of the B852 public road (Military road NMRS MR 1 or NH52SW 11.00) over the River Farigaig a short distance above its debouchement into Loch Ness and to the SE of its successor and present bridge (NH52SW 35). The river here forms the boundary between the parishes of Boleskine and Abertarff (to the SW) and Dores (to the NE).
