Old Photograph Vicar's Bridge Scotland
Old photograph of Vicar's Bridge, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. Vicar's Bridge has a single arch and has been widened on the western side, apparently in 1869, the date cut on the coping of the eastern parapet. A modern panel on the western side is inscribed:" Sacred to the memory of Thomas Forrest the worthy Vicar of Dollar, who among other acts of benevolence, built this bridge. He died a martyr A.D. 1538. " The oldest part of the bridge suggests a date in the 17th century rather than the 16th century. The old single arch can be seen incorporated under the modern 19th century bridge which has been widened on the west side. History Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to travel and visit one day.
