Origins of the Carving Trail
In 2017 Carrbridge Business and Tourism Association commissioned a Carving by Alice Buttress with her husband Jeff of Carrbridge Artists Studio to commemorate the 300th Anniversary of our iconic Packhorse Bridge. The carving depicts the famous bridge, local wildlife and landmarks in the village.
The Bridge 300 Carving was made possible with funding from Sustrans, Carrbridge Business & Tourist Association and CNPA, with the wood, a wonderful old Burr Elm, being donated by Culloden House Hotel, Inverness.
