Road bridge still in use, carrying an unclassified public road across the River South Esk. It was built in 1785-7, and is an exceptional 18th century structure of three wide segmental arches, with prow shaped refuges carried on free standing quatrefoil columns of Langley pattern, rising from bullfaced cutwaters. The bridge is constructed of red sandstone ashlar masonry with droved voussoirs. The long ramped approaches on either side are divided into three compartments. The outermost has a segmental flood arch, and the innermost has sunk double crosses with trefoil heads. There are obelisks at the top of the approaches and short quatrefoil spired pillars at the bottom, constructed of pinned coursed rubble. The inscription on the South-East obelisk records the construction: 'This bridge was founded on the 7th June 1785 and finished on the 27th January 1787 by Alexander Stevens'. A number of masons' marks have been recorded on the bridge. Bridge damaged in October 2023 during Storm Babet.
