Scope and Content Coldstream Bridge, Coldstream, Berwickshire This bridge was designed by John Smeaton, and is one of his masterpieces. It has seven segmental arches, with triangular cutwaters, now protected from scouring by steel-piled concrete outworks. This view is of the bridge from the north west, showing the five main spans and the accommodation arches at each end. The round features between the arches were originally open from side to side, and reduced the load on the foundations. This bridge was one of the prime crossings of the Tweed, where it forms the boundary between Scotland and England, hence the considerable style in which it is built. The bridge was widened in 1962 by bracketing out footpaths. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
