Description
Watch Knowe Bridge is an early to mid 19th century structure that spans the Ettrick Water with three segmental arches. It is built from roughly squared and coursed rubble, featuring a rubble-coped parapet, voussoirs, step-coped semicircular cutwaters, and curved approaches. There is also a smaller overflow provision over the bank on the south arch.
