Additional Information
The earliest structure at Carr Bridge dates from 1717. Recently, the village was given a new bi-lingual roadsign, with the Gaelic Drochaid Charra. Locally, this is usually Drochaid Charr; most end vowels are dropped in Strathspey Gaelic.”: MacGregor, Gaelic Place-Names in Strathspey.
