Comments :
This bridge over the River Cur at Glenbranter is a good example of an early 19th century 2-arched bridge, surviving in original condition. It is recognised for its condition, quality and historic value as part of the reconstruction of the road from Strachur to Ardentinny after 1806.This bridge was part of the earlier road S from Strachur to Ardentinny and Dunoon, which ran on the W side of the river N of Glenbranter, before crossing at this point. The bridge is almost flat, with only a slight rise at the centre and is entirely of rubble, with two wide segmental arches. On both the upstream and downstream side is a single cutwater. The parapet has rough rubble coping. The soffit has been cement-rendered. [HS] The width between the parapets is 4,6 m.
