Description
The Bridge of Laroch is a single-span, hump-backed bridge dating to 1785. Constructed of rubble with a dressed rubble arch ring, it features a roughly dressed rubble parapet. Some areas have heavy cement pointing. The bridge was built as part of the military road linking Stirling and Fort William. Originally, the route through the area in 1752 ran via the Devil’s Staircase and Kinlochleven, but it was re-aligned in 1785 to pass through Glencoe and Ballachulish. William Taylor’s 1976 publication, The Military Roads in Scotland, provides further detail on page 73.
