Scope and Content View of Garron Bridge from the south-east, Inveraray estate, Argyll and Bute In 1744 a military road was planned from Inveraray to Dumbarton. Although it was an army project the 3rd Duke of Argyll's architect, Roger Morris, designed the bridge which had to cross the Garron Water. The Garron marked a boundary of the Duke's land. The design by Roger Morris (1695-1749) was for a one-arched bridge. The divisions of the voussoirs, which make up the segmental arch, are continued in the masonry which radiates out from the arch. The bridge was built with John Adam (1721-92) as superintending architect, and a master-mason named Christie working under the supervision of William Caulfield, inspector of military roads. The bridge was used until 1980 when it was closed to vehicles. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
