Geocache Description:

Placed with the kind permission of Kinveachy Estate, please bring a pen or pencil to log this cache. Tweezers may be needed to extract the log


The 2nd cache in this series brings you to Sluggan Bridge, the second bridge to be built at this point on the river. General Wade's military road, built in 1728, the road crosses the Dulnain and continues on through to Slochd. 

Wade originally crossed the Dulnain with a ford which was later replaced in the 1760s with a low two-arch bridge. This was swept away during the great flood of the 3rd August 1829, to be replaced by the current large single span bridge in the 1830s. 

Major repairs were carried out to the bridge in 2001/02 by Sustrans as part of the National Cycle Network. Sluggan Bridge is category A listed and a scheduled monument. The Wade Road is an ancient right of way. There is no need to deviate from the path or attempt anything dangerous to find this cache.
