Single span hump backed bridge, constructed of rubble with tooled granite dressings. It has a single tooled granite arch ring, and a rubble parapet with a centre portion at the crown of the bridge missing, and a granite cope. The approximate span of the bridge is 12 feet (3.7 metres). The bridge is reputed to have been built for a visit of Mary Queen of Scots to Rothiemay Castle (NJ54NE0007) in 1562. However, the construction and style of the bridge indicate a mid-18th century date, probably during the ownership of Rothiemay by William Duff, Lord Braco, between 1741 and 1763. It was probably built on the site of earlier bridge, and possibly re-using older material.
