Tour Scotland video of the River Tay and Old Bridge this morning in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Perth Bridge which is also known as Smeaton's Bridge and, locally, the Old Bridge, is a toll-free bridge that spans the River Tay, connecting Perth, on the eastern side of the river, to Bridgend, on its western side, carrying both automotive and pedestrian traffic of West Bridge Street.
The bridge was completed in October 1771, which places it in the Georgian era. The engineer of its construction was John Smeaton, for whom the bridge is named.
