Scope and Content Abbey Bridge, near Haddington, East Lothian This is one of only a handful of small medieval bridges surviving in Scotland. This view shows the three-span sandstone bridge from the east. Its pointed arches are clear indications of an early date when taken together with its rubble construction and massive cutwaters. The name of this bridge relates to the abbey of St Mary's, Haddington, and the bridge was probably built to ease the transport of rent paid in kind to the abbey granaries.
