The bridge, which replaced inconvenient and often hazardous ferries, was a toll bridge and the original toll
house still stands at the southern abutment. The citizens of Dunkeld strongly objected to the tolls, culminating in riots in 1868. The tolls were abolished in 1879 when the bridge was taken over by Perthshire County Council.
