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.

"The Inn has great food and drink options and the bar staff was friendly. The room was very hot and the skylight did not open, nor could you see out of it. The room and bathroom were very clean. I appreciated an in- room TV with channels that night as well. "

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff. Nice & clean. Excellent breakfast cooked to order. We even had ours as a takeaway as we were running the Workington half marathon."

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at The Cally Palace Hotel. I visited with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson — the boys enjoyed a round of golf while we girls headed to the Arts and Crafts Festival in Kirkcudbright. The hotel is full of charm, with beautiful surroundings, comfortable rooms, and very friendly staff. The food was excellent, and the whole atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!"
