Description
Buchan Bridge is a vehicular bridge built in 1851, spanning the Buchan Burn and oriented on an east-west axis. It features a single span with a semicircular arch, constructed from rubble with granite dressings. The bridge has bull-faced voussoirs and wide rounded polished coping, supported by natural rock abutments. A granite-coped buttress is located to the southwest. The smooth keystones include one on the south side that is dated "1851". The parapets are peaked at the center and have panels on the inside. The south parapet is inscribed with "This Road from the Esconchan Gate to Buchan and this Bridge were designed and executed by Randolph IX Earl of Galloway AD 1851". The north parapet features the inscription "Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, Land of the mountain and the flood, Land of my sires what mortal hand, Can e'er untie the filial band, That knits me to thy rugged strand".
