H E Milner of Westminster, architect. Dated 1895. Bridge;
spans deep valley; gigantic round arch over Overtoun Burn,
flanked by lower and smaller pedestrian arches. Rough-faced
ashlar with polished dressings, keystones and moulded arch
rings. Arches corniced at impost level with triangular
buttresses corbelled below parapet and carried upwards as
semi-circular pedestrian refuges; moulded parapet coping with
domed caps.
Pierced balustrade, at head of steps leading down to garden,
is linked to house.
According to the given reference, the last stone was laid
7.6.1895 (despite its being inscribed 5.6.1895).
Lord Overtoun purchased Garshake Estate in June 1893, and
work began on this drive almost immediately; it was also
designed and planned by H E Milner.
