Description
Castlemilk Bridge is an earlier 19th-century road bridge featuring a single wide segmental arch that spans high above the Water of Milk. The bridge is constructed of coursed rubble with red ashlar dressings. The rusticated voussoirs extend into a channelled soffit, and thin pilaster strips flank the arch. Below the straight parapets, which are coped, there is a band course, with shallow pyramidal caps over the pilaster strips and at the terminals. A lade to the mill is carried through a low archway on the northwest abutment.
