The lowest crossing point on the River Leven, built in 1765 by John Brown of Dumbarton. It was widened in 1884 and was reconstructed in 1934. It is Category B listed http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB24879. As the river is tidal, there can be impressive rapids at this point at certain states of the tide.
