Garscube Bridge [NAT]

OS 1:1250 map, 1961.

This bridge carries Maryhill Road over the River Kelvin, which here forms the boundary between the parishes of Glasgow (to the SE) and New Kilpatrick (to the NW).

The cited location defines the centre of the span. The available map evidence indicates that the bridge extends from NS c. 55404 70638 to NS55424 70585.

This bridge is not noted by J R Hume (1974).
