What is recorded here
Mains Bridge still spans its water beside Glamis Castle in Angus, though no date or builder survives to identify the stones. It is the kind of bridge people walk without thinking, carrying carts, weddings, floods and forgotten errands across generations. The castle tower rises above it like a witness, while the bridge does the quieter work of joining one bank to the other.
