Almond Bridge [NAT]

OS 1:10,000 map, 1983.

(Location cited as NO 094 266). Almond Bridge, built 1827, engineer James Jardine. A handsome 3-span masonry bridge, with 54 ft (16.5m) elliptical arches and rounded cutwaters. Constructed entirely of ashlar.

J R Hume 1977.

This bridge carries the former line of the A9 trunk road across the River Almond, which here forms the boundary between the parishes of Tibbermore (to the S) and Redgorton (to the N).

The location assigned to this record defines the midpoint of the span crossing the river. The available map evidence indicates that the span extends from NO c. 09726 26675 to NO c. 09749 26598.
