Scope and Content Dean Bridge, Dean, Edinburgh The Dean Bridge, the principal bridge over the Water of Leith, was built by Thomas Telford 1829-31, and is one of his finest achievements. It carries the road from the west end of Edinburgh towards Queensferry over the deep ravine of the river. The bridge, with four flat segmental arches spanning the river, has slim panelled piers attached to the main ones. This elegant formula had been used by Thomas Telford for a smaller road-bridge at Pathhead, Midlothian in 1827. The building of the bridge was largely financed by Lord Provost John Learmonth, whose property lay on the north side of the river. The Cramond Road Trustees agreed to contribute to the cost on condition that there should be no toll on the bridge. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
