Description
The Old Place of Mochrum is a vehicular bridge designed by Robert Weir Schultz around 1903. It is oriented on a north-south axis and features a single span made of rubble. The bridge has flat rubble coping with spaced semi-circular rubble stones. The parapets are finished with squat rubble drum piers, each adorned with band courses and conical rubble caps, which are topped by small boulder finials. Additionally, there are drystone rubble walls connected to each pier. To the east, there is timber sluice machinery, which includes a footbridge.
