Welcome to Carrbridge Cairngorms Paths

In 1808 a 'Plan of the Intended Village at the Bridge of Cairngorms Paths Carr' was drawn out. The Old Bridge of Carr had been Carrbridge Carrbridge built in 1717 as a footbridge. In 1791 a new toll bridge Carrbridge was built for wheeled transport particularly for use by Caimgorms National Park the military. The 'T' junction at the new bridge was Paths seen as a 'settlement-site-in-waiting' and it didn't take long before the first building was completed. Not Grantow surprisingly, this was an Inn and so began Carrbridge's on-S tradition of a good highland welcome. Come and explore Dulnain As you will discover, the village has many short and pleasant walks. In particular the woods contain a variety of mature and young trees and are home to many of the area's specialities such as Scottish crossbill, crested tit and red squirrel.
