General Wade's hump backed bridge on the A939 at Gairnsheil, Glengairn, Ballater, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, UK.

The bridge was constructed in the 18th century as part of one of the military roads that were built soon after the Jacobite uprising to allow troops to get from A to B quickly if needed. This particular road runs from Braemar to Fort George in Inverness and is one of the few that are still in operation to this day (albeit highly augmented to suit more modern needs). The bridge itself is a single lane humpbacked bridge that crosses the River Gairn and would be highly unremarkable had it not been for the stunning views across the Cairngorms National Park that surround it. The Gairnshiel Lodge is a former Victorian hunting lodge which is now used as a luxury retreat for those who want to immerse themselves in the idyllic Scottish countryside. As well as the main building, there are cottages nestled in the surrounding area which can also be booked by those looking for a bit more solitude. Passing through Gairnshiel will lead you on to The
