The records of the Commissioners of Supply for Dumfriesshire show that funding was considered for building a bridge over the Water of Evan and that this work was included in the programme for new bridges and a committee appointed for overseeing the work in 1717. Agreement for construction of the bridge was reached with Thomas Johnstoun in August 1719.
