Description

Completed 1797. Single arch stone-built bridge spanning Urr
Water near Dalbeattie Burgh on A711. 90 foot span approx.
Single depressed arch, dressed ashlar voussoirs, springers
and soffit. Squared rubble spandrels and rebuilt rubble
parapet with dressed coping. Humpbacked carriageway. To E
side long rubble walls at bridge approaches.

Statement of Interest

The bridge was built to replace an earlier upstream 2-arch

crossing which was destroyed by a flood shortly after

completion. Buittle bridge has an unusually wide span for a

single arch stone bridge, and has very fine mason work

throughout.
