Description

The Kirkcudbright Bridge, built in 1926, is a reinforced concrete and steel bowstring truss bridge spanning five sections. The design is by Blyth and Blyth and L G Mouchel, engineers, and built by John Angus and Sons. The bridge features octagonal piers that support a flat deck. A pierced concrete balustraded parapet runs along the bridge, with intermediate piers holding cast-iron lamp brackets. A bronze plaque at the centre of the bridge commemorates the engineers, contractors, and the bridge’s completion date. The statutory address is Kirkcudbright Bridge.

Local climate

Kirkcudbright Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,380 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 86% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.2°C per decade since 1991.
