Carrbridge is a beauty spot, fragrant with the scent of
birch and pine. The arch 
of
an older bridge, dating from 1719, still stands above the modern one and
is a favourite subject with artists.
Hereabouts, turnpike and railway leave Wade's road far to the left; the latter ( i.e. Wade's road ) crossing the Dulnan at Sluggan, a good 2 miles above Carrbridge.
From here, the military road passes round the south side of Inverlaidnan Hill and so joins the turnpike and railway again in the narrow gorge of Slochd Mor ( the Big Pass ).

| Alexander MacLean, Carpenter. |
The (now demolished) joiner shop a little way up the Station Road was
where my great grandfather Alexander Maclean had his joinery and funeral
business.
His telephone number was Carrbridge 5.
Alexander Maclean built a house in the village owned by my family until a few years ago.
