Old Photograph Bridge Dairsie Scotland

Old photograph of the bridge over the River Eden near Dairsie, Fife, Scotland. Dairsie village is located between Cupar and St Andrews. There was an earlier bridge at Dairsie, as it is recorded that King James IV crossed it on his way from St Andrews to Stirling in 1496. The present bridge bears an inscribed stone displaying the arms and initials of James Beaton, born 1473, died 1539, Archbishop of St Andrews, and it is likely that he ordered the bridge to be built during his episcopate.
