"Bridge, 1785, leads across the River Coe to Invercoe House, 18th century with Victorian alterations, possibly incorporating parts of the earlier house of MacIain, chief of the Macdonalds of Glencoe. Well preserved interior; good limewashed single-storey dairy and byre ranges.

Tooled rubble segmental arch ring springing from natural rock abutment; roughly dressed low rubble parapet with widely splayed approaches."

"Le pont, 1785, traverse la rivière Coe jusqu'à Invercoe House, du XVIIIe siècle avec des modifications victoriennes, incorporant peut-être des parties de l'ancienne maison de MacIain, chef des Macdonalds de Glencoe. Intérieur bien conservé ; bonnes gammes de produits laitiers et d'élevage de plain-pied blanchis à la chaux.

Anneau d'arc segmentaire en gravats repoussés jaillissant d'une culée en roche naturelle ; Parapet bas en moellons grossièrement habillé avec des approches largement évasées."
