The height of the bridge denotes the rapidity of the stream in rainy seasons, or melting of snow. The road that turns to Badenoch, just before you cross the Spean, is no carriage road, but leads to Glen Roy, and Loch Spey (the source of the Spey River) and joins the Corryarraick road near the bridge over the Spey, not far from Garvimore inn.
