Thomas Telford Bridge over the River Moriston

Highlight • Bridge

Invermoriston’s Thomas Telford bridge makes a spectacular crossing over the River Moriston falls. Nestled amidst a breathtakingly-beautiful landscape, the bridge is a much-loved spot and is a great place to watch salmon leaping upstream. Built in 1813, the bridge was part of the main road between Drumnadrochit and Fort Augustus until a new bridge was built to replace it in the 1930s.

Qyite a steep desend. Thought it best to slow down and pace myself, due to the following 26degree heatwave

Gravel Descent Between Invermoriston and Fort Augustus

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This is on the high route between Invermoriston and Fort Augustus heading Inverness to Fort William. It's a mighty push up out of Invermoriston but it's short and steep and once you're up the riding is fantastic. Fast gravel trails, with wee jumps and sweeping corners - it's as if it's been designed by a mountain biker!
