Tour Scotland Autumn morning travel video of the old bridge over the River Tay on ancestry history visit and trip to Perth, Perthshire. Perth Bridge, also known as Smeaton's Bridge, locally, the Old Bridge and in the local dialect of Scots, " the Auld Brig ", is a toll free bridge in the city of Perth. It 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; however, its plaque states the year in which construction began, 1766. The engineer of its construction was John Smeaton, after whom the bridge is named.
