Friends of Craigellachie Bridge: Coffee and Heritage weekend

Saturday, 5 May and Sunday, 6 May, 10am-12pm and 2pm-4pm, Craigellachie Village Hall

The Friends of Craigellachie Bridge will be holding a Coffee and Heritage weekend.  Entry will be £3 and this will get you a cuppa and piece as well as a look round all the photos and memorabilia we have built up on Craigellachie Bridge, Craigellachie and the surrounding area.

This is an event to raise funds to enable us to employ a surveyor to complete an up-to-date condition survey on Craigellachie Bridge.  Once the results for the survey have been obtained, this information will be used to help drive forward refurbishment works needed on the Craigellachie Bridge.
