Carrbridge

Carrbridge’s most famous landmark is the old packhorse bridge – the oldest stone bridge in the Highlands – dating from 1717 and from which the village gets its name. Carrbridge Village Hall, Carrbridge Primary School and Carrbridge Parish Church, all occupy central positions within the village and play significant roles in many aspects of life here.

The river Dulnain runs straight through the heart of the village and Carrbridge’s immediate surroundings include a stunning natural landscape with many woodland trails on offer for a variety of recreational purposes.

The village is well known for playing host to two long running and popular annual competitions: The Golden Spurtle World Porridge Making Championship and the Carve Carrbridge Scottish Open Chainsaw Carving Competition. These events offer keen but friendly competition, drawing entrants and spectators from all over the world, so putting Carrbridge firmly on the map.
