There is a picture postcard on Leodis (Latest Editions) at the moment of the bridge I think you are referring to. Subject I.D. 201153-172110.Funny enough I have been in the gorge more times than I care to remember and never recall seeing it.
Daft I call it - What's for tea Ma?

The bridge on the postcard is a foot bridge under the waterfall of the upper lake. The bridge i was referring to is called 'pack horse bridge' as Chameleon stated. It's located right at the north end of the gorge by the ring road. I've looked on leodis and can't find any pictures of it. If you walk along the path in the gorge you will go over the bridge but you wont actually see it unless you stray off the path, Thats why i'd never seen it before.

I've come across a coloured version of the picture you posted in the Hermitage Thread earlier, with a summery (!) look about it.

Wasn't the 'hermitage' only a folly like the 'castle ruins'. I'm sure I read somewhere that it was.
