(NS 4939 7279) Roman Bridge (NAT)

OS 6" map (1914)

This bridge, though reputedly Roman in origin, cannot be as old as that, though the stones of which it is built may have been used by the Romans. It may date from the time of Robert the Bruce (R Stuart 1852). Originally it was 8' wide, but it was widened by 6' in 1772 by Lord Blantyre. The Roman Bridge proper must have been lower down the stream.

J Irving 1860; J Bruce 1893; G Macdonald 1934

This bridge is of entirely modern construction, having been blitzed in 1941, repaired in 1943.

Visited by OS (FDC) 15 August 1951.
