Scope and Content Detail of ball and finial on Garron Bridge, 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. This bridge was designed in a Classical style by Morris (1695-1749) and finished in 1749. The cornices on the central walls were decorated until recently with ball-finials, each intersected by a thin square horizontal slab. The solid parapets above the abutment-piers have similar cornices and retain their ornamental stone balls. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
