Description

Tweed Bridge, located over the River Tweed in Innerleithen, was built in 1886 for The Peeblesshire Road Trustees, with engineering by RS Anderson and construction by Robertson & Co from Workington. This log-back girder road bridge features four spans supported by stone piers and cutwaters, ending in low wing walls. The structure is made of mild steel and wrought iron, with some decorative cast-iron components, including green sand cast-iron plaques.

On the northeast and southwest elevations, there are three large stone piers that transition into diamond-shaped cutwaters, topped with cushion caps. Similar piers at the ends support the four log-backed spans, which each have riveted cross trusses and railing parapets embossed with "STOCKTON MIC." There are two ornate rectangular plaques aligned with the central piers, stating "ERECTED BY THE PEEBLES SHIRE ROAD TRUSTEES 1886," surrounded by a coat of arms featuring a lion rampant shield with thistles on the sides. Small wing walls with segmental coping are positioned at the outer ends of the piers, serving as stone protectors next to the metalwork.
