Description
The Inverlael Bridge dates to circa 1790. It is a single-span bridge with a pronounced hump and long, parapetted approaches. The bridge is constructed of rubble with dressed rubble forming the segmental arch ring and parapet cope. It was built as part of an "excellent road," begun in 1792 and nearly completed by 1794, constructed by the government to connect Dingwall and Ullapool at a cost of $4,500. The road and bridge had deteriorated significantly by 1835. The bridge's approaches were flattened when the A835 road was realigned, bypassing the bridge. Historical records, including the Statistical Account (1794, p. 466) and the New Statistical Account (p. 89), document the bridge. John Hume’s The Industrial Archaeology of Scotland (1977, p. 291) also provides details.
