Statement of Interest

The NORTH CLYDE ESTUARY reference is confusing suggesting that Chapel Hill Bridge and the Ramshead Bridge are separate bridges, they are in fact the same bridge. It is said that the ram?s head was set into the bridge to commemorate the introduction of black-faced sheep at the nearby Glenmallochan farm in the mid 18th century. The Edentaggart Bridge is listed separately.
