Scope and Content Part of drawing of details of Craigellachie Bridge, showing details of various joints The Old Bridge at Craigellachie was erected in 1814-15 by Thomas Telford. It is almost identical in design to the now-demolished bridge he built at Bonar two years earlier. Together, they represent Telford's two major cast-iron works in Scotland. The bridge was reconstructed above the arched girders or arch-ribs in 1963. It is built in the form of a segmental arch, which rises to 6.33m, has a width of 4.6m, and spans 46.18m. This is part of a drawing showing details of various joints: between lengths of road-bearers; between decking-plates and road-bearers; and between spandrel-struts and road-bearers. All were designed to ensure stability and strength in the bridge. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
