In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Cononbridge like this:

It took its name from a bridge over the Conan, on the road from Beauly to Dingwall, which, built in 1809 by the parliamentary commissioners at a cost of £6854, is a stone five-arch structure, with a water-way of 265 feet. ...
The village has a station (Conan) on the Highland railway, an inn, and a public school. Pop. (1841) 342, (1861) 501, (1871) 385, (1881) 385.
