68. Bridge, Cockburnspath Tower.
Over the burn about 70 yards above Cockburnspath Tower, and a short distance above the present road bridge, are the fragmentary remains of an old bridge, a ring of which remains entire. The arch, which is pointed, has a span of 10 feet 9 inches, is 3 feet in breadth on the west side, and on the east side beyond the centre about 15 inches more. The masonry of the abutment on the west bank is in situ for 3 feet from the existing south edge of the arch, which must have been considerably wider than at present.
See Ber. Nat. Club, 1879-81, p. 446.
