Site Management (1 June 1990)

High 3-span coursed rubble bridge, with taller central arch. Ashlar arched rings and triangular cutwaters; ashlar string course and parapet cope; splayed approaches.

Now by-passed by re-aligned A837 road. Fine bridge in good order except for some crumbling masonry on north side of western arch. (Historic Scotland)

Activities

Reference (1977)

(Location cited as NH 575 975). Bridge, Inveran, early 19th century. A handsome three-span bridge with segmental arches and triangular cutwaters; the central arch is larger than the other two. The arch rings are of ashlar and the spandrels are coursed rubble. By-passed.

J R Hume 1977.

Reference (1990)

This bridge was built by John Mitchell in 1822, and is now by-passed; the road is grassed-over and not safe. It is a picturesque hump of three segmental arches, built of coursed rubble with ashlar arch rings.

G Nelson 1990.

Note (6 May 1998)

This bridge carries the former line of the A837 public road over the River Shin.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 6 May 1998.
