'Upon this rapid burn (of Latheronwheel) Patrick Dunbar of Bowarmadde has erected this year (ie. between 1717 & 1732) a stone bridge of a large arch, which will be of great use not only to the whole parish but to all that travel that road'.

This bridge carries the former line of the A9 public road over the Burn of Latheron or Latheronwheel to the NW of Latheron village.
