This military-type bridge is on the line of the Coupar Angus - Fort George military road. It is in a very bad state of repair. (see NJ20NE 9 and NJ20NE 11 ).

Visited by OS (RB), August 1966.

On the date of visit this 18th-century military bridge was undergoing massive repairs and safe access could not be gained for the purpose of taking measurements. The bridge, however, is very similar to those nearby at Delachuper (NJ20NE 9) and Sleepy Hillock (NJ20NE 11).

Visited by RCAHMS (JRS, ATW), 17 March 1998.

This bridge carries the former line of the A939 public road over the Delavine Burn.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 9 December 1998.

This bridge has 'recently' (1992) suffered partial collapse, two-thirds of the N half having become unstable due the undercutting by the stream of the W pier. The W approach has long gone.

NMRS, MS/712/41.

Scheduled as 'Bridge on Old Military Road over Delavine Burn... on the line of the Old Military Road connecting Coupar Angus to Fort George'.
