Bridge, Cawder Park

The bridge at Cawder Park, designed by David Hamilton in the early 19th century, features later additions from the 20th century. It is a flat structure spanning a shallow burn on the main driveway to Cawder House. The bridge has a shallow round arch made of shaped rubble voussoirs, which connect to low ashlar sides. The abutment is constructed from coursed, squared rubble and includes a projecting ashlar course at road level. A low parapet made of large ashlar blocks features segmentally-arched coping stones, and squat ashlar pillars with shallow-piended coping stones are located at either end. A concrete buttress was added to the northeast side of the arch at a later date. The eastern side of the bridge shows heavily oxidised stone as of 2004, with some areas re-pointed using concrete. Additionally, there is a small waterfall cascading over a crescent-shaped concrete former footbridge that abuts the bridge to the west.
