Inveraray, Garden or Frew's Bridge

Comments :

It is built throughout of a greenish grey stone, and each separate block is scored with fine diagonal lines, like the Castle itself. This is called broaching by Scots masons. It is almost unnoticeable, and yet it gives a surface texture with innumerable fine shading lines. There is a single elliptical arch of 60 feet and balustraded parapet. The abutments have semi-circular towers which at the road level form refuges. These have stone seats inside. The voussoirs are in a double row with an archivolt. The spandrel courses ray out as they do at Garron. The string course is denticulate and juts out to look like a shelf from above. In both spandrels are blind oculi edged with moulded stone. The courses inside these oculi are horizontal, not radiating. [1]
