Description
The Old Spey Bridge, dated 1754, is a three-span bridge constructed from mixed pinned rubble granite, with the height increasing from the north to the south banks. The bridge features tooled mixed granite arch rings that also increase in height and span in the same direction. Canted buttresses rise from triangular cutwaters and end as refuges. It has a tooled ashlar parapet, shallow end buttresses, and splayed approaches. There are metal repair stays present. The approximate spans of the bridge are 25 feet, 45 feet, and 80 feet.
