What is recorded here

Earl John Bridge spans the river beside Glamis Castle, carrying travellers across water that has flowed through Angus since long before the castle took its present shape. The bridge belongs to the castle estate rather than the open road, so it serves the grounds and their history instead of passing traffic. Its stones and structure follow the old estate layout, linking the castle area to the land beyond the river. The exact building date does not appear in the saved detail, but the bridge still performs its original job: crossing water and shaping the approach to Glamis.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Glamis Castle, Earl John Bridge as Bridge (period Unassigned). 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.

Glamis Castle, one of the most famous castles in Scotland, was originally built in the 14th century by the Douglas family, later held by the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne. It is important as the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and for its rich history, legends, and connections to Scottish royalty.
