Old Photograph Canongate Bridge Jedburgh Scotland

Old photograph of the three span, dressed stone, 16th century Canongate Bridge which spans the Jed Water in Jedburgh, Borders Scotland. To control access to the royal burgh of Jedburgh, the approaches on either side were built at nearly a 90-degree angle to the bridge itself. Some of the stones used in the bridge, particularly in the parapets of the eastern refuges, were likely repurposed from a nearby church, possibly the Friary which was largely destroyed in the 16th century.
