Description

Brechin Bridge features two arches, with the south arch designed in a Gothic style, likely dating from the early 13th century. The east face of this arch has a corbelled parapet. The bridge was widened on the west side in 1786 or shortly thereafter, and the north arch was rebuilt in a segmental form. It was engineered by Alexander Stevens and is constructed from rubble. Notable architectural elements include large cutwaters and semi-octagonal buttresses.

Local climate

Brechin Bridge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 990 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 77% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 75% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
