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. However, old maps suggest that there may have been an earlier bridge on the site.
The bridge is a massive 5 span reinforced concrete structure, where each span is supported by tied arch trusses overhead. Unlike many other similar structures, the arches are not tied across the carriageway, mainly because they are too shallow to then allow traffic through! 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.
The bridge is signed as a Weak Bridge with a 17T weight limit, and for some unknown reason, has Wig-Wag signs at either end.

"A lovely county castle surrounded by Belted Galloway cattle and sheep. The castle grounds have a fruit trees, herbs and vegetables. Tobias is truly a wonderful gentleman and host. He prepared an amazing breakfast both mornings which consisted of local flavors ( haggis, blood pudding, potato cakes, eggs, bacon and sausage). Tobias gave us a tour of the chapel and grand hall with interesting history. Baron James prepared a formal dinner which was also delicious. We are Maxwell descendants by DNA...

"I took my Mum, 2 Aunts (all in their eighties) and Pep the dog to this lovely house for a week of relaxation and togetherness. It was perfect ! The accommodation (especially the sun room and living room) were great for sitting and looking over the trees and rooftops to the bay...spacious and cosy at the same time. Rockcliffe is beautiful. The house a great walk for me and the pooch to the beach ,through the woods and over the rocks. Lots of places to visit around and about...something for...

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

10/10 Excellent

"Huge room size, traditional decor, great attitude and friendly nature from all staff starting with front of house and then over to the bar and restaurant. Thank you all so much. "

Cottage with stunning views over Kirkcudbright Bay, a short walk from the beach.

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage is warm, cosy and really well equipped. Our dog loved the enclosed garden and we loved the views and the tranquility. The beds are comfortable and there was masses of hot water - the shower is great. The host was really responsive to messages and extremely helpful. If we visit the area again this will be the first cottage on our list to book - it's ideal as a base to explore the area.Dhoon beach is just down the lane leading to the cottage and the perfect spot for a morning dog walk."

CORBIE NEIST: Overlooking Kirkcudbright Harbour

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was walkable. Quite a few choices of cafes and restaurants. The people were very friendly. The suite was adorable. And if you like people watching, there is a park across the street that you can sit in your living room chair and watch life going on. Pete was very helpful and accessible. Thanks Pete."
