MacDonell of Keppoch

[Jock Scot]

To be fair to the soldiers who were trying to cross the bridge at High Bridge they had to advance on a front of about 8ft for a distance of perhaps 30 yards.Not a pleasant task.Nevertheless there were twelve very brave men at the other end of the bridge.

The bridge is still there,ruined now,a sight well worth seeing as it spans a river gorge(the Spean) and was a wonderful piece of engineering for its time.I tried to get a photo yesterday,but the river was raging at 20ft above normal level so I will have to wait.
