NT00SE 152 07711 02784

For (successor) 'new' Beattock Bridge (07797 02770), see NT00SE 125.

See also NT00SE 165 and NT00SE 166.

This bridge formerly carried the Carlisle-Lockerbie-Glasgow 'Annandale' route (the predecessor to the A74) over the Evan Water to the N of Beattock village (NT00SE 111) and immediately S of Lochhouse Farm (NT00SE 126). It was replaced in 1819 by the 'new' bridge (NT00SE 125) 85m downstream (to the E).

This bridge is depicted, but not noted, on the OS 1:2500 map of 1981.
