What is recorded here
Rustic Bridge 3 spans the policies of Buchanan Castle in Stirling, a nineteenth-century ornamental structure built for pleasure rather than trade. The castle has stood empty for a century, so the bridge may have carried lovers, messengers or nobody at all. Whatever it crossed, it still belongs to the estate and does not invite strangers across.
