Alyth's old packhorse bridge has been standing in the middle of the town for roughly five centuries, long after the drovers who used it stopped coming through.
A market town on the drove roads
Alyth's market status was formalised in 1488, when it was created a burgh, and for centuries it served as a trading post on long-established drove roads, where Highland farmers brought sheep and cattle to lowland markets. By 1760, the town had grown larger than nearby Blairgowrie and held nine fairs a year.
A bridge from around 1500, still standing
The town's stone packhorse bridge, dating from around 1500, still stands in the middle of Alyth and is now reserved for pedestrians. Two later stone bridges were built alongside it for wheeled traffic as the town grew.
