Scope and Content View of the Garron Bridge from the north-north-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. Designed in a Classical style by Morris (1695-1749) and finished in 1749, the bridge is mainly built of sandstone. The parapets above the arch are carried on rounded mouldings supported on ogival, or pointed, corbels. Each parapet is a solid wall. The parapets are flanked by balustrades divided by pillars into groups of three, six and three sandstone balusters. There are cornices above the parapets of the central walls and above the parapets of the abutment-piers. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
