Scope and Content Kirkton of Glenisla, Glenisla School Bridge, Angus This is an unusual and early suspension bridge, with a combination of cable staying and suspension members. It is all made of forged wrought-iron, by John Justice of Dundee, apart from the timber deck. This view shows the top of one of the pylons, with one of the backstays supporting it to the right, and two of the diagonal chains supporting the deck of the bridge to the left. This was one of the first suspension bridges in Scotland, and may have been the first outside the Borders. Features of its unusual design are also to be found in bridges at Crathie and at Haughs of Drimmie, near Blairgowrie. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
