An unusual late-19th century creation for the Hope Johnson family of Raehills about 100 yards upstream
from the A701 road bridge. The bridge formed part of a circular garden walk known as Wallace Loup along each side of the Kinnel Water. Its arms comprise 10 in. deep timber beams 42 ft and 46 ft long, with tension rods beneath, similar to Creel Bridge but deeper, spanning to a pagoda on a central pier of masonry in the river.
The bridge is owned by the Annandale Estates.
