Queen Mary's Bridge

Comments :

Single span hump-back bridge; rubble, tooled granite dressings; single tooled granite arch ring; rubble parapet with centre portion at crown of bridge missing; granite cope. Bridge reputed to have been built for a visit of Mary Queen of Scots to Rothiemay Castle (now demolished) in 1562. However, construction and style of bridge indicate a mid-18thC date probably built on site of earlier bridge and possibly re-using older material. [AC] The width between parapets is 3,0 m, the clear height is 1,60 m.
