Bracklinn Falls
Six years after major floods swept away the historic bridge at Bracklin Falls near Callander, a new structure is today being inched into position. The new bridge, which is made from copper and wood, is being carefully manhandled into position using people power as location of the gorge means it is impossible to get a crane to the site. The woodland surrounding the site also meant that the bridge had to be built on site as helicopters could not be used.
The new bridge will mean that a popular circular walk at the Falls will once again become possible. Since August 2004 it has only been possible to view the Falls from the edges of the gorge. The bridge will be officially opened in November after landscaping work and path work has been completed. In the meantime why not check out the walk to the Falls which also takes in a circuit of the countryside surrounding Callander?
