Bridge Over Back Burn 20 Metres East Of Park Lodge With Attached Railings

The bridge over Back Burn, located 20 metres east of Park Lodge, dates from the late 18th century and features attached railings. It is constructed from high-quality squared stone and wrought iron. The bridge has a single segmental arch with recessed voussoirs, topped by a band and flanked by pilasters. These pilasters have domed niches both above and below the band, with single niches on the end pilasters. The bridge is finished with a flat-coped parapet. At the west end of each parapet, there are openwork box-section wrought-iron piers adorned with palmette panels and a central moulded urn finial, each flanked by four smaller urns. A short length of railing extends east along the parapet from each pier, featuring spearhead bars and a top rail that ramps down and curves in a scroll. Additionally, there is a short length of similar railing to the south of the southern pier.
