Luggate Bridge is a handsome and substantial late 18th century road bridge located on a broadly sweeping section of the old coach road to the W of Gala Water, 1 mile SW of Stow. It is notable for its solid massing with rounded abutments and cut-waters and long, shallow pitched parapet. Described in the New Statistical Account as "a very good and commodious bridge, built by the County of Edinburgh over Lugate Water".
