This bridge formerly carried Telford’s road from Tomdoun to Cluaine over the northern channel of Loch Loyne at na Paiteachain. A second, smaller bridge is recorded separately to the S at NH 15338 04569. (NH20NW 1). The route and bridges were abandoned when the waters of the loch were raised as part of a hydroelectric scheme.The course of the road and the two bridges over Loch Loyne are depicted on the 1st Edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire 1883 sheet lxxxi).
