J R Hume 1977.

The (old) Avon bridge is of mellow, dark stone Held now with metal stays, a rubbled bridge with narrow voussoirs and rounded cutwaters; the main arch is strong and graceful. It is now used only by walkers, and has become an adjunt to Ballindalloch Castle, the gatehouse (NJ13NE 4.03) of which is on the E Bank.

G Nelson 1990.
