Memorial Stone

Spent a day visiting Lochindorb and Grantown-on-Spey but in the end settled on this as it was obviously a big day for someone else's journal. This stone is at south end of the old bridge over the river Spey at Grantown-on-Spey. The bridge was built in 1754 to carry the military road south from Fort George but it's not clear whether the tablet commemorates the finishing of the bridge or a section of the road by Colonel Lord Charles Hay of the 33rd Foot. Grantown itself did not exist at this time, the main settlement being over the river near what is now Cromdale, but was founded in 1766 by the local laird James Grant.
The bridge itself can be seen here:-
