Strontian, Drumnatorran Bridge

Upstream, an impressive three-arched granite bridge, earlier 19th century, links Drimnatorran Farm to the ribbon of crofting townships that runs up the west side of the river. The highlight here is an unusually large U-plan steading/bank barn, 1828, built by Sir James Miles Riddell as part of an ambitious and progressive agricultural enterprise.
