Description
Piltanton Bridge is an early 19th-century vehicle bridge that carries the A715 over Piltanton Burn, oriented along a north-south axis. The bridge features a single span with a low segmental arch. It is constructed of rubble with rubble voussoirs and has red sandstone slab coping. The soffit is made of concrete, and the bridge has been completely reconstructed to the east, with curved wingwalls.
