Old Photograph Tweed Bridge Peebles Scotland
Old photograph of the road to te Tweed Bridge in Peebles in the Borders of Scotland. The original bridge structure dates from the 15th century, succeeding many wooden structures before it. Until the 18th century it was the only bridge crossing of the Tweed above Kelso. Rebuilt in 1663 using stone from the ruined St Andrew's Church, it had additional arches added in 1799, by John Hislop; it was widened twice in 1834 by John and Thomas Smith and again in 1900 by McTaggart, Cowan and Barker. Tweed Bridge carries the B7062 and is the only road crossing over the River Tweed in Peebles, and can therefore get quite busy at peak times.
