Statement of Interest

Port-Na-Craig bridge replaced a ferry crossing established during the 12th century by monks of Coupar Angus who had received the lands of Fonab as a gift. The last ferry crossing took place on Empire Day 1913 when the bridge was opened by the Duchess of Atholl. Upstream from Port-Na-Craig is the Coronation Bridge (listed separately), a similar suspension bridge erected in 1911 to commemorate the coronation of King George V.
