(Location [of bridge] cited as NJ 340 594 and cited [incorrectly] as in Urquhart parish). The tollhouse is an attractive one-storey and basement ashlar building with a semihexagonal bay and a low-pitched roof with eaves.
J R Hume 1977.
Toll House, Spey Bridge, c. 1830. Possibly designed by Archibald Simpson, who was involved with repairing the bridge (NJ35NW 24.00) after the Muckle Spate, it is delectably built in great blocks of polished stone, a bracketed architrave above the door and windows, and wide-eaved roof carrying ornamental brackets. Not quite a twin brother to the East Lodge to Gordon Castle (for which, see NJ35NW 57).
C McKean 1987.
