Brodick Castle, Bridge Over Cnocan Burn

Road Bridge (19th Century)

What is recorded here

Brodick Castle, Bridge Over Cnocan Burn spans a narrow burn in North Ayrshire, built during the 19th century to carry roads past the castle grounds. Its stones still cross the water, unchanged in purpose, even if the carriage roads have become footpaths and the castle chambers have changed owners several times. The bridge does not announce itself. It simply continues the road, which is the oldest and most honest function a stone arc can perform.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brodick Castle, Bridge Over Cnocan Burn as Road Bridge (19th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
