Balquharrage Bridge
Image: © Richard Sutcliffe Taken: 7 Jan 2023
This 18th or early 19th century bridge used to carry Campsie Road over the River Kelvin. Long bypassed by a modern and wider steel girder bridge (on the left), the bridge is no longer in use, even for pedestrians, as a wall prevents access at the southern end. The bridge is Category C listed http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB36659, although Historic Environment Scotland have currently got the entry for it located against the wrong bridge!
