Strathallan Castle, North Drive, Bridge

Bridge (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Strathallan Castle, North Drive, Bridge occupies a narrow point in Perth and Kinross, recorded as a bridge without a date. The name suggests water, travel and the risk of slipping when rain thickens the drive. A castle looms in the background, but the bridge belongs to the person crossing it, bearing weight and exposing weakness at once.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Strathallan Castle, North Drive, 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.
Strathallan Castle was originally built by the Comyn family in the 13th century and later held by the Stewart (Stuart) family. It is historically significant as the site of the 1308 marriage of Robert the Bruce to Isabella of Mar, which strengthened his political alliances during the Wars of Scottish Independence.
