The military road and bridges near Scotston in Glen Cochill is an 18th-century infrastructure project associated with the British military reorganisation of the Highlands following the Jacobite uprisings. The construction of such roads and their associated bridges formed part of the systematic network developed to improve military communications and control across challenging terrain in Perthshire. These structures typically comprised metalled roadways and stone-built bridges of modest but durable construction, designed to accommodate mounted troops and supply convoys. The site represents the material legacy of strategic Highland development undertaken in the decades following 1746, reflecting both military necessity and the broader transformation of Scottish Highland geography during this transformative period.
