Under Garry Bridge

October 31, 2025

Just north of Pitlochry in the Scottish Highlands is the Killiecrankie river gorge, carved by the River Garry. It’s crossed by Garry Bridge which stands 20 meters over the water, and has a permanent bungee jump platform underneath operated by Highland Fling, if that’s your thing.

The area is the site of the 1689 Battle of Killiecrankie, one of the bloodiest battles in Scottish history — a history full of bloody battles. The Jacobites won the battle but lost their commander, Viscount Dundee, which led to the collapse of that particular uprising.

I made this photo during a quick stop on a drive from Glasgow to Ullapool on our way to the Isle of Harris. We didn’t spend much time, but I would have loved to explore the gorge with its colors.
