Description

The Low Bridge is a single-span bridge dating from 1730 to 1735, with later reconstruction. It is built of rubble with a dressed rubble arch ring and parapet. The bridge, also known as the Nine Mile Bridge, crosses the Gloy River, near Invergloy. References to the bridge can be found in J.B. Salmond’s Wade in Scotland (1938) and William Taylor’s The Military Roads in Scotland (1976).

Local climate

Low Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,870 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 93% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 77 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 99% of listed buildings. Of these, 59 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
