Statement of Interest

A well designed bridge providing access to the former Auchernach policies at the principal south eastern entrance, on the former road from the village of Bellabeg via Lost. A short distance to the west is another bridge, at the Lodges of Auchernach, also crossing the Water of Nochty. A photograph of circa 1930 shows the bridge in open countryside without a single tree in sight, it is now completely hidden by trees.
