Dulnain Bridge

Overview

Dulnain Bridge is a small village in the Scottish Highlands situated in the heart of Strathspey within the Cairngorms National Park.

Dulnain Bridge is centred around the high 18th century bridge over the River Dulnain less than a mile from the Dulnain's confluence with the mighty Spey.

Near the A95 Aviemore to Keith road, the village is comprised of two communities, Dulnain Bridge itself is centred to the north of the bridge with a post office/shop and garage. This part of the village lies in Morayshire. The crofting community of Skye-of-Curr stretches for about a mile to the south, terminating at the Speyside Heather Centre.

The surrounding forests of mature Caledonian Pines contain many rare and interesting species including the endangered capercaillie which are regularly seen. There are Scottish crossbills, the small but beautiful crested tit, buzzards, golden eagles, and ospreys. The red squirrel is also very much at home here!

Curr Wood, on the south and east of the village has the country's largest population of twinflower, known by the botanical name of linnea borealis. They share the forest floor with a tiny orchid called creeping ladies tresses.
