What is recorded here

North Bridge still crosses the water beside Glamis Castle, though no date or builder is attached to its stones. It may have served hunters, traders, or fleeing families long before the castle became famous. The absence of a record does not remove the bridge; it withholds only the name of the hand that laid the first stone.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Glamis Castle, North 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, North Bridge is a historic structure associated with Glamis Castle, a significant Scottish castle held by the Douglas and later the Graham families since the 14th century. The bridge is important as part of the historic estate, which has strong historical and cultural ties to Scottish nobility and literature, including being the inspiration for Shakespeare's *Macbeth*.
