Aberfeldy's Tay Bridge is also often known as "General Wade's Bridge", and was one of around 40 important bridges built by General George Wade as part of a network of 250 miles of new roads constructed across the Scottish Highlands in the aftermath of the 1715 Jacobite uprising. The bridge over the Tay is carried over the river by five segmented arches beautifully portrayed by the British artist Edwin Calligan.

Edwin Calligan was a successful Industrial Designer and Commercial artist born in 1911. After some years at Dundee School of Art he Studied design in Germany intending to work for the stage. After working at Covent Garden and Sadlers Wells he returned to commerce and exhibited in the British Pavilion of the New York’s World Fair in 1939. His service in the Tank Corps in World War Two seems to have ended his career.
