Scope and Content Part of drawing showing a half-elevation of Haughs of Drimmie Suspension Bridge, Perthshire The bridge at Haughs of Drimmie was built around 1830 and is one of a small group of wrought-iron framed bridges of suspension type. It was probably designed by John Justice (Junior) of Dundee, based on his father's bridge at Kirkton of Glenisla. Diagonal stays from the pylons support the deck. Wrought-iron stabilisers connect the stays to each other, forming a triangular pattern. The deck has independent hand-rails and bracing provided by two suspension rods underneath. The deck of the bridge is supported by stays connected to the pylons at each end, and by this system of under-bracing. The two suspension rods slung between the abutments are joined to the deck by short struts. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
