Old Bridge, Innerleithen. A quarter of a mile N. of the road bridge in the High Street of Innerleithen another bridge spans the Leithen Water. This was built in 1701, funds being obtained from the minister's stipend, as the parish church had been vacant from October, 1695 to March 1697. The structure consists of a single arch, of rubble masonry. (Sited at NT 3333 3713)
