Description

Duchess' Bridge is an early 19th century bridge featuring three segmental arches. It carries one of the main drives of the estate from southeast to northwest across the Doghouse Burn. The bridge is constructed of droved ashlar and has lightly tooled shallow pilasters that separate the arches. It also has a shallowly convex-coped parapet, which ends at both sides with short swept wing walls that have scrolled ends. Duchess Bridge is part of the landscape development of the Buchanan Castle estate, which is included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.
