The bridge over the River Dee at Kirkcudbright was built in 1926 by the engineers Mouchel. It provided a direct route west out of the town, rather than having to head north via Tongland Bridge first. However, old maps suggest that there may have been an earlier bridge on the site.
The bridge is a massive 5 span reinforced concrete structure, where each span is supported by tied arch trusses overhead. Unlike many other similar structures, the arches are not tied across the carriageway, mainly because they are too shallow to then allow traffic through! Below the spans the piers are paired and while only two stand in the river at low tide, at high tide all are partially submerged.
The bridge is signed as a Weak Bridge with a 17T weight limit, and for some unknown reason, has Wig-Wag signs at either end.

"Arrived at 3. Check in easy. Kam very friendly and a welcome pack too. Close to our friends in whithorn. Good location. Nice well equipped caravan. Sofa bed small for 2 people."

"A perfect little cabin in a perfect location. We had a cold clear night and can confirm that the sky is huge and beautiful! It's cosy, the bed is comfy and the hosts were lovely. We will definitely be back 😁"

"What a treat this cabin was. My husband and I came here on an anniversary trip but I can definitely see how appealing it would be for a dark sky experience. The cabin was wonderful. The communication was wonderful. I would definitely recommend. If we make it back, we will for sure be staying here again. Jeannot was an awesome host."

"Close to Wigtown and easy reach for lots of beautiful places."

"Everything about the site/location/amenities was awesome. Only complaint was with Hotels.com and their poor listing for this property. Mentioned no charge for our dogs, when it should have read that we had to pay the site after making the booking. "
