Carlow's Bridge, Tweedsmuir
This single arch stone bridge spans the young river Tweed at a narrow rocky passage known as Carlow's Linn or Carlowse Linn. It dates from 1783 and was built by two local stonemasons James and Alexander Noble.
In 2014 the bridge was temporarily closed for refurbishment and strengthening, since it carries timber traffic as well as being on the public road through the hills via Talla and Megget Reservoirs to St Mary's Loch - a popular scenic drive. The bridge re-opened in 2015.
