An elegant five-span low-rise segmental arch masonry bridge with a central span of 45 ft built over the Tweed in 1883 to replace a ford. Its arch rings are of squared sandstone and the spandrels of snecked rubble. The bridge, presumably designed by or for Peeblesshire Road Trustees reputedly has a part paid in its creation by David Kidd, inventor of the modern envelope, whose sisters contributed substantially towards its cost out of their inheritance from him.
