Description
The bridge, dating to circa 1815, consists of three wide segmental arches constructed of rubble with dressed stone forming the arched rings and a low parapet. Triangular cut-waters act as buttresses and a string course runs along the bridge. A splayed approach leads to the bridge. It was constructed as part of the Parliamentary Road built in 1815, connecting Glenmoriston to Shiel Bridge and then to Kintail and Lochalsh. Although still in use, Croe Bridge is now bypassed by the realignment of the A87. References to the bridge appear in the New Statistical Account (xiv, p.207), Telford's Atlas (plate 51), an advertisement for tenders in the Edinburgh Evening Courant of February 27, 1815, and in John Hume’s The Industrial Archaeology of Scotland (ii, 1977, p.290).
