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.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Glamis Castle, Mains 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.

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