Description
This is a later 19th century bridge that spans a mill lade and features a pair of commemorative red sandstone pillars dated 1907, which were restored in 2000. The inner face of the bridge parapets is made of roughly stugged coursed red sandstone, while the outer face is constructed from rock faced ashlar above a string course. The bridge has rock faced voussoirs with side rybats supporting a rubble faced brick arch over the mill lade below, topped with rounded copes. There is a decorative cast-iron access hatch on the northwest wall made by T. McLaren & Son of Galashiels. The bridge also includes squared banded rusticated columns with ornate floral corniced capitals and carved panels that feature an image of a fox under a plum tree.
