  Sluggan Bridge is a bridge across the River Dulnain.
  
  ## History
  
  The present bridge replaces a two-arched bridge of 32 feet (9.8 m) span built by George Wade as part of a military road. The old bridge was washed away in the floods of 1829, and the present one put up some time after.
  
  ## Design
  
  It has a single arch of 17.8 metres (58 ft) span, and rises high above the flat ground around it. It is about 4.3 metres (14 ft) wide, with metal railings instead of parapets. Despite being more modern than many other stone bridges, Sluggan bridge is of a more old-fashioned construction.
