Comments :
Kilmahog Bridge is a 2 arch, rubble bridge over the Garbh Uisge, just to the E of the Falls of Leny, dated 1777 and built by the mason Peter McInnes from Crieff. Built under the instruction of the Commissioners of Forfeited Estates as part of an improvement scheme to the forfeited estate of the Duke of Perth, Strathgartney Barony, after the 1745 Jacobite uprising. A good example of a well preserved later 18th century bridge. 2 segmental arches with vertically set narrow voussoirs separated by a pointed, piended cutwater. 2 shallow, sloped buttresses flank the arches on the SE face. Corniced ashlar date plaque to NW face. Random rubble abutment and parapet. Mid to late 20th century iron railings to parapet. Modern (late 20th century) tarmac road surface. Materials Random rubble with squared rubble voussoirs and cutwaters. [HS] The width between parapets is 7,70 m. The arch was later widened with ashlar.
