Description

Laverock Bridge is a bridge over the River Mint, likely built in the 17th or 18th century. It was later widened to the east and features parapets. The bridge has a segmental arch and a band, with low parapets. The abutments curve outward, and the roadway is approximately 3 meters wide.
