What is recorded here
Hoddom Castle, Driveway Bridge is a 17th-century road bridge in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, still standing where castle grounds once crossed working land. It may have carried carts, riders and visitors past castle walls, and it still marks the line between private memory and public road. The stones have watched traffic change from hooves to tyres while the castle fades into local story.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Hoddom Castle, Driveway Bridge as Road Bridge (17th Century). 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.
