Scope and Content Detail of maker's nameplate on cast-iron arch at Kirkton of Glenisla School Bridge Glenisla School Bridge was built in 1824 by John Justice and Company of Dundee to span the River Islay near Kirkton of Glenisla. It is one of the earliest surviving Scottish examples of a suspension bridge. The bridge is actually a cross between a suspension and a cantilever bridge, since the deck is suspended from the two low-slung stretcher wires braced by stays from pylons. At each end of the bridge, the piers are joined by a cast-iron arch, or overthrow, bolted to the mast-heads. At the top of each overthrow is a plaque inscribed: JN. JUSTIC/DUNDEE/1824.
