Description

This is a bridge built in the early 19th century that carries the drive to Greencroft Park over the Newhouse Burn. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings. The bridge features an elliptical arch made with voussoirs. It has a flat-coped parapet that ends in square piers topped with low pyramidal copings. The original Greencroft Hall has since been demolished.
