Rally cars crossing into Scotland
The LEJOG (Lands End to John o Groats) rally passed over Chain Bridge on 12 December 2011. Over a hundred cars from several countries took part. More cars crossed the bridge in a couple of hours than usually pass in a day!
Union Chain Bridge
This chain-link bridge (as distinct from a cable suspension bridge) was built in 1819-20 by Capt. S. Brown R.N. at a cost of £5000. When it was built this was the longest suspension bridge in the world. The deck is of iron girders with a wooden roadway.
The English side of the bridge is listed grade 1 (list entry number 1042214) and a Scheduled Ancient Monument; the Scottish side is listed category A (reference 13645).
