Old travel Blog photograph of Drymen Bridge, originally built in 1765, which carries the A811 across the Endrick Water a little to the south of Drymen, Scotland. The bridge consists of 5 arches in the local red sandstone. Only two of the arches cross the river, the central one and that to the south of centre, the remaining three being flood arches. The bridge is built of regular blocks, shaped like rubble, with ashlar arch rings and a cornice line at road level. The central arch is further embellished by being flanked with semi circular piers rising from the cutwaters, suggesting that originally it may have been the only arch to span the water.
