    Hiking

    Named after the Sami Mikel Utsi, who (along with his wife Ethel Lindgren) was responsible for reintroducing reindeer to Scotland, this bridge leads over the River Allt Mor to Chalamain Gap.

    The first version was replaced by the Edinburgh and Heriot Watt Universities Officer Training Corps as part of a summer project in 1979, but after 41 years and thousands of feet (and hooves) it had reached the end of its safe life and was due for replacement.
    Translated by
    A somewhat scenic waypoint at a key path junction that gives access towards Chalamain Pass from the road and Sugarbowl Car Park.

    Hiking

    A well built bridge allows access across the river to continue along the path. Up to the west of the bridge is the reindeer enclosure whilst to the south east the path continues on into the mountains.

    The car park is about 5 minutes walk from here.
