The bridge carries the rail track for the Thurso Inverness train. It was a grey day but further south the sun was shining has it shone on the distant hills of Morven and Maiden Pap. From the bridge I returned to the village via the core path that runs parallel to Sinclair Lane to reach the village boundary at its eastern end. After a short visit to the ruins of Abbey Church, the old parish church originally built in 1753 I returned home via the Ulbster Arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter
