Major William Caulfeild, the British government’s Inspector of Roads from 1732 to 1767, was instrumental in building roads and bridges across the Scottish Highlands to restore order after the Jacobite rising of 1715. Although less famous than his predecessor, General George Wade, Caulfeild oversaw the construction of four times as much road, including the route from Blairgowrie to Braemar, where this bridge stands. These roads facilitated faster movement of soldiers and provided crucial routes for drovers and smugglers transporting cattle and goods.
