Full Description
An early 19th Century road bridge which carries the A95 public road across the River Fiddich. It is a single segmental, arched, coursed rubble stone bridge with narrow voussoirs. It has a dressed stone parapet with string course and small buttresses on low plinths. There is a tooled granite segmental arch ring, with band courses and copes to the parapets. There are shallow end buttresses and splayed approaches. The approximate span is 60 foot. This is almost certainly the bridge referred to in NSA as having been constructed at the cost of £450 to replace the temporary wooden structure, which in turn replaced the old Bridge of Fiddich of 2 arches destroyed in the August, 1829 floods.
Period Notes
This bridge is almost certainly the bridge referred to in NSA as having been constructed to replace the temporary wooden structure constructed as a response to the damage from the flood of August 1829. It was designated on 24/03/1988.
