Description
The Knockreoch Bridge is probably of early to mid-18th century date and carries a road over the Knochreoch burn. It is a single, near-round arch bridge with an approximate span of 22 feet, constructed of rubble. The narrow rubble voussoirs rise from the bedrock, and the bridge has a rubble coped parapet. The carriageway is humped.
