Kirkcudbright Bridge

Kirkcudbright Bridge
The bridge over the River Dee at Kirkcudbright was built in 1926 by the engineers Mouchel. It provided a direct route west out of the town, rather than having to head north via Tongland Bridge first.
The bridge is a massive 5 span reinforced concrete structure, where each span is supported by tied arch trusses overhead.
Below the spans the piers are paired and while only two stand in the river at low tide, at high tide all are partially submerged.

Great bridge scene Amelia, like the red anchorage tie up in the foreground, makes the scene for me...YS...Kind regards, Bill

The bridge looks massive but still elegant- you caught it perfectly with the red pollard adding colour.
