Old Brig O' Dee

Comments :

It is a six span, hump-backed bridge of rubble, each span being a different size. Looking it from the downstream side, the largest is the third from the right bank, under the highest point of the roadway, but the second is a fair span too. The fifth and sixth, which are hidden by trees and on completely dry land normally, are very small, the last measuring only 10 feet across and 54 inches high. These two are effectively flood arches, whereas the first on the far bank is not. This asymmetry in no way detracts from the bridge's appearance, rather it enhances it, as do the unusual tall triangular cutwaters which have roofs of large flags. [1] North end of the bridge is the tollhouse.
