What the tourists want
It's the so called "fairy bridge". It's pretty remote, and off the beaten track and up a bit of a hill but it surprises me that there is almost always a Chinese person there when I arrive. They must have that new AI app that helps them to find it and cut subsea telecommunication cables too. "Welcome to the enchanting Fairy Bridge of Glen Creran. Nestled within the tranquil woodlands of Glasdrum Wood National Nature Reserve, this ancient stone bridge, over 500 years old, offers a peek into Scotland’s magical past" I'm not sure the bridge is over 500 years old. Perhaps 100? I even used a tripod

The "Fairy Bridge" Glen Creran. Scotland.
This Bridge is truly a magical structure hidden away on a woodland hillside deep within a Scottish Glen, and with it's large arc and pointed stones decorating it, the picture really conjures up a Fairytale area where could it be possible that the Fairies actually played here........The mystery deepens as to Who, When and Why was it built.........best just to quietly visit then steal away and leave the mystery to the Faries.......

The "Fairy Bridge" Glen Creran, Scotland.
The small stream of “Eas an Diblidh” flows down the hillside of “Coille Mheadhonach” in Glen Creran, Scotland, to eventually flow under the “Fairy Bridge” creating not only the waterfall but the chance to walk over and admire this magical Fairytale Structure beautifully created by………and there the story ends, as I have no information of Who or When it was built, best leave it as a mystery……..
