Information from NMRS MS/749/93.

(Location cited at NN 771 456). Kenmore Bridge, built 1774, engineer John Baxter. A very handsome three-span bridge, with segmental arches and arched cutwaters. The piers and arch rings are of dressed stone with rubble spandrels. There are occuli, still open between the spans. The roadway rises in a gentle curve, highlighted by a prominent string course. On the north side are two small flood-relief arches.

J R Hume, 1977.

This bridge carries the A827 public road over the River Tay at the NE end of Loch Tay and to the NW of Kenmore village (NN74NE 73). It is depicted, but not noted, on the 1982 edition of the OS 1:10,000 map.

The location assigned to this record defines the midpoint of the structure. The available map evidence indicates that it extends from NN c. 77140 45584 to NN c. 77159 45525.
