Clunes Wood

Clunes Wood is an early 18th century single arched military bridge that crosses the Allt a' Chrombaidh burn. It features a level carriageway and is located to the north-east of the A9, currently used only for pedestrian traffic. The bridge is constructed from rubble and lacks parapets, resting on rubble masonry abutments set on bedrock on either side of the burn.

Historically, Scotland saw the construction of approximately 1700 kilometers of military road between the early 1720s and the late 1750s, with about 400 kilometers built by General Wade and 1300 kilometers by Major Caulfeild. The initial work began in 1725 under Wade's command, which included repairs to fortifications like Edinburgh Castle and Fort William, as well as the establishment of new forts at Inverness (Fort George) and Killihuimen (Fort Augustus). The road network was improved to connect garrisons at Fort William, Fort Augustus, and Fort George, with a focus on expanding the route between Dunkeld and Inverness, known as 'The Great North Road', and its branches.

This bridge was built between 1728 and 1730 as part of the Dunkeld to Dalnacardoch road. A small cairn with a plaque located to the west of the bridge commemorates conservation work carried out by The Association for the Protection of Rural Scotland in 1985, which included some reconstruction and repointing of the original masonry.
