Came here whilst on holiday with our Husky, he was very happy and loved the walk to the top for the gorgeous views! The trees are huge, it’s very quiet and a lovely place to escape for an hour.

This bridge used to be the old A 75 to Stranraer now a bypass on the outskirts . It is well known for its scenic views of the River Nith . Built in 1793 ,the architect was Thomas Boyd. It was substantially rebuilt and widened in 1893 by the gift of Miss Mckie.......the work was carried out by James Barbour and Sir William Arrol . There are information plaques on the bridge . I came across an interesting footnote that the Duke of Buccleugh would not allow access to the bridge until a warrant of £1000 was paid ! (a substantial amount of money in those days)
