Scope and Content Plan of Craigellachie Bridge copied from 'The Atlas to the Life of Thomas Telford' 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 plan forms the lower part of a drawing copied from 'The Atlas to the Life of Thomas Telford', published in 1838, which contains numerous similar drawings of bridges by Telford across the country. The upper part is an elevation of the bridge. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
