OS (GIS) AIB, May 2006.

(Location cited as NT 259 739). North Bridge, built 1896-7, engineers Blyth and Westland. A 3-span bridge, with steel segmental arches on masonry piers. Spandrels of the outer ribs are faced with cast-iron panels decorated with swags and arcades.

J R Hume 1976.

This bridge spans the former location of the (drained) Nor' Loch and the present Waverley Station (NT27SE 221.00) between the E end of Princes Street (to the N) and near the E end of the High Street (to the S).

The location assigned to this record identifies the approximate midpoint of the structure. The avaiable map evidence suggests that it extends from NT c. 25848 73993 to NT c. 25934 73663.
