Moore's Bridge - an original stone, with coat of arms
Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 15 Aug 2007
This grey stone was part of a bridge, which, as the date suggests, was built in 1688, and which crossed a burn that still flows here; the stone is now framed within a Victorian restoration of the bridge in red sandstone [see "North Clyde Estuary - An Illustrated Architectural Guide", by Frank Arneil Walker with Fiona Sinclair]. According to one source ["The Church of Cardross and its Ministers" (1935) by Eunice G Murray], the coat of arms is that of the Montgomery family. Nearby, another original stone, bearing an inscription, has also been preserved as part of the modern bridge; see: Image Both stones are shown in their context here: Image
