Bridge of Cally Village and River Ardle

Highlight • Settlement

Bridge of Cally is a small village north of Blairgowrie, historically serving as a gateway to the Highland Glens. Situated at the junction of Glenshee and Strathardle, it centers around an ancient bridge over the River Ardle. The village lies along the A93, also known as the Snow Roads Scenic Route, which follows an 18th-century military road that once facilitated troop movements, highlighting the area’s strategic significance. Notable landmarks include the Bridge of Cally Hotel, formerly the Invercauld Arms, which operated as a temperance establishment until the 1960s. While now a key stop for visitors en route to Glenshee Ski Centre, the village maintains its historical charm and continues to serve as a vital local hub.

Cargill's Leap

Highlight • Historical Site

Cargill's Leap is a narrow ravine along the River Ericht. It is named after Presbyterian minister Donald Cargill, who once leapt across the ravine to escape pursuing soldiers. During the reign of Charles II, Presbyterianism was outlawed by the Scottish parliament. Cargill, like many other ministers, was forced to hold secret meetings which were often broken up by the military. The minister was captured in 1681 and taken to Edinburgh where he was found guilty of treason and executed.
