Accessing Scotland's Past Project

Mertoun Bridge spans the River Tweed to the west of Mertoun, carrying the B6404 which runs from St Boswells to Mertoun.

The bridge comprises five shallow segmental arches, and the masonry piers have rounded cutwaters.

It dates from the mid-nineteenth century, and was built to a design by James Slight.
