Description

?Robert Adam, later 18th century. High picturesque 2-tier
structure, lower single span supporting double span; rubble,
tooled rubble dressings. Tooled rubble arch rings, the upper
pair linked by mural passage and with shallow round-headed
niche in upper spandrel. End buttresses; undulating low
rubble parapet with unfortunate later concrete cope.
Spans: lower arch - 36'6"
upper arches - 28'

Statement of Interest

Most unusual bridge. No drawings nor documentation survive.

It is just possible that the lower arch is earlier, but when

the mansion was built and a carriage drive required, the

second tier was added to accommodate horse drawn vehicles

(lower bridge would have had too steep approach over gorge

for these). The approach from the west to Letterfourie was by

this route.
