Scope and Content Brydekirk Bridge, Dumfriesshire This bridge was built by Thomas Boyd and William Stewart, as part of the laying out of the model village of Brydekirk by Colonel Dirom of Mount Annan. It is a very graceful structure, with a large central span flanked by smaller ones. This view shows the flatness of the arches, the slenderness of the piers, and the quality of the masonry, all indicating that this was an advanced design. The elaborate plans to develop Brydekirk came to nothing, and the place remains a hamlet. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
