| Information | |
The Cardross Bridge is a fine, Georgian, stone bridge which carries the A8034 over an upper reach of the River Forth. Both banks of the river here are in Perthshire.
The bridge was built 1774. It overleaps the river on three-spans of rubble stone, with segmental arches and triangular cutwaters. It was partly financed by a grant from the Annexed Estates.
