Background
History
The present structure replaces a military bridge of 1758 designed by John Adam which was destroyed by floods in 1772. It was planned in 1773 by Robert Mylne for the Board of Ordnance and Colonel John Campbell, 5th Duke of Argyll, on whose estate it stands. The contractor was J. Brown and it was completed in 1775/6. It was placed at Category A (the highest) on Historic Scotland's listed building designations in 1971. The Arrochar trunk road over the bridge now operates as a single carriageway controlled by traffic lights.
