Information

Cobleland Bridge is a Georgian stone bridge carrying a local road across an upper reach of the River Forth by Cobleland in Perthshire. Here both banks of the river are in that county.

The bridge was built in the early nineteenth century and was the bridge for the main road reaching north from Glasgow to Aberfoyle and on to the Trossachs. This road, the A81, now has a modern bridge, immediately downstream of the Cobleland Bridge.

The bridge crosses the river on two spans, with a central pillar with cutwater, built of rubble stone. The arches are segmental and of unequal size.
