A handsome single-span segmental arch bridge of about 40 ft span over the Garron about 2 miles north-east of Inveraray. It was designed for the Board of Ordnance by Roger Morris, overseer John Adam, and built in 1748. It is strongly ornamented, with masonry baluster parapets leading to solid work at the crown, pronounced shaped abutments on the elevations surmounted by masonry globes and a denticulate string course. The bridge has been bypassed on its north side by a modern road bridge which affords a good view of its predecessor.
