Bridge on Old Military Road over Burn of Tornahaish is a stone bridge crossing the Burn of Tornahaish in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The structure dates to the 18th century and formed part of the network of military roads constructed in the Highlands following the Jacobite uprisings, a programme of infrastructure development undertaken to facilitate military movement and control across difficult terrain. The bridge exemplifies the practical engineering associated with these strategic routes, which were designed and built under the direction of General George Wade and his successors. Its survival represents an important physical record of the post-1745 military administration of the Scottish Highlands.
