Built 1728 by Peter Macglashan, one of the presbytery masons. The minister, Rev. William Blair persuaded the Presbytery of Abernethy to enter into contact for building a bridge across River Tromie to facilitate access for parishoners to the church. Rebuilt in 1832, widened and repaired by Sir George Macpherson-Grant of Ballindalloch and Inverness.
