Scope and Content Inchinnan Bridge, Greenock Road, Renfrew, Renfrewshire This shows the Black Cart Bridge from the south. There are coupled columns above each cutwater, flanking flood relief arches, and small accommodation arches in each abutment. Behind the bridge is a boatyard for small pleasure craft. The styling of these bridges derives from John Rennie's Kelso and London bridges, but unlike them these bridges have slightly humped carriageways, giving a notably graceful profile to each bridge, as seen in this view. This bridge is one of a pair, both designed by Robertson Buchanan, engineer, after a nine-arch bridge of 1759 had been destroyed in a flood. The western bridge, seen here, spans the Black Cart Water, and the other the former course of the White Cart Water. Both are Classical, with three elliptical main spans.
