Lt. General Wade’s Bridge at Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Shot taken on Saturday 20th December 08 in the middle of our winter. Designed by William Adam, Scotland’s best architect. The total cost was £3,596 or, in today’s terms, over £1m. ”... a freestone bridge over the Tay, of five arches, nearly 400ft. in length, the middle arch 60 feet wide, the starlings of oak and the piers and landbreasts founded on piles shod with iron….” (House of Commons Journal, 7th February 1734). The bridge was first opened to traffic at the end of October 1733. Wade regarded it the greatest of his considerable achievements in road-making. In 9 years he had personally supervised the construction of over 250 miles of military roads in the Highlands – the first engineered roads in Britain since Roman times. lt is now the only one of Wade’s 35 major bridges to remain in use as a public highway. Built for 18th century wheeled carriages, it survives to the 21st century as a great memorial to a great roadbuilding engineer. Wade’s Bridge is a Category A listed structure of historic importance (HB Number 20861) under the care of Historic Scotland. The River Tay, Scotland longest river, meanders across Scotland from Loch Tay before flowing out to sea at the Firth of Tay.

This spectacular sixteenth century castle has been restored by the Menzies Clan Society. Seat of the Chiefs of Clan Menzies for over 400 years, it was involved in the turbulant history of the Highlands and here Bonnie Prince Charlie rested on his way to Culloden in 1746. Architecturally fascinating, it is a splendid example of the transition between earlier rugged fortress and later mansion house. Castle Menzies stands north of the River Tay at Weem on the B846, one and half miles from Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic).

Weem Rock is in the small village of Weem, near Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Shot taken on Saturday 21st December 08 in the middle of our winter. Reached via the main entrance to Castle Menzies, there is a steep, tree-clad path to the top of the Rock. This path leads to St. David’s Well and Cave. St. David’s Well is ascribed to Sir David Menzies who, in the 15th century, used the place as a retreat from worldly concerns. In the past it has been used as a wishing well but forestry development on the hill above has prevented surface water from reaching underground water courses and so the Well is often dry. The Well was originally known as Fuaran Creig a’Chaibel (Chapel Rock Well) and is attributed to the work of St. Cuthbert who built a wooden oratory here during his missionary journeys through Scotland in the 7th century. The Cave, in which St. Cuthbert probably sheltered and from which the village took its name, is situated almost directly beneath the Well and is difficult to reach. Legend has it that the Cave used to extend to Loch Glassie, nearly two miles away and some 650 feet higher. Three bracketed JPGs converted to HDR in Photomatix.

The Black Watch Memorial in front of Lt. General Wade’s Bridge over the River Tay at Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Shot taken on Saturday 20th December 08 in the middle of our winter. The Black Watch Memorial was unveiled in 1877 in honor of the Black Watch Regiment which was first established in Aberfeldy. The monument takes the form of a massive cairn surmounted by the statue of Private Farquhar Shaw dressed in the original uniform of the regiment. The bridge was first opened to traffic at the end of October 1733. Wade regarded it the greatest of his considerable achievements in road-making. In 9 years he had personally supervised the construction of over 250 miles of military roads in the Highlands – the first engineered roads in Britain since Roman times. lt is now the only one of Wade’s 35 major bridges to remain in use as a public highway.

The Birks of Aberfeldy is a popular circular walk through wonderful mixed woodland on the outskirts of Aberfeldy in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Highland Scotland” in Gaelic). Shot taken on Saturday 20th December 08 in the middle of our winter. Originally known as the ‘Den of Moness’. The name changed following the visit of poet Robert Burns in August 1787, when he penned his song ‘The Birks o’ Aberfeldy’. The Birks (meaning Birch) of Aberfeldy is a stunning wooded glen, and offers approximately 2 miles of well surfaced and way marked trails and paths along the edge of a steep gorge, through which flows the Moness Burn.

The Birks O’ Aberfeldy Chorus: / Bonie lassie, will ye go, / Will ye go, will ye go, / Bonie lassie, will ye go / To the birks of Aberfeldie! Now simmer blinks on flowery braes, / And o’er the crystal streamlet plays; / Come, let us spend the lightsome days, / In the birks of Aberfeldie! While o’er their heads the hazels hing; / The little birdies blithely sing, / Or lightly flit on wanton wing / In the birks of Aberfeldie! / Chorus The braes ascend like lofty wa’s, / The foaming stream, deep-roaring, fa’s, / O’er-hung wi’ fragrant spreading shaws, / The birks of Aberfeldie. / Chorus The hoary cliffs are crown’d wi’ flowers, / White o’er the linns the burnie pours, / And, rising, weets wi’ misty showers / The birks of Aberfeldie. / Chorus Let Fortune’s gifts at random flee, / They ne’er shall draw a wish frae me; / Supremely blest wi’ love and thee / In the birks of Aberfeldie.

During winter, the deciduous trees lose their summer covering of leaves and stand bare, waiting for the turn of the seasons when they will bloom again. These trees are standing in the wooded glen of the Birks o’ Aberfeldy.

The Kenmore Inn in the middle of Kenmore village, in the Breadalbane region of Scotland. Established in 1572, the Inn claims to be Scotland’s oldest Inn.

Kenmore Village, a beautiful little town in the Breadalbane region of Highland Perthshire (Breadalbane means “Uplands of Scotland” in Gaelic) guarding the east of Loch Tay, itself dominated by the Kenmore Hotel and the impressive cruciform church housed in the square. The church, which occupies a prominent position on a promontory at the east end of the Loch was built in 1760.
