Old Photograph Teviot Bridge Kelso Scotland

Old photograph of the Teviot Bridge over the River Teviot in Kelso, Scotland. In 1795, a bridge over the River Teviot was completed by William Elliot, although the design used appears to have been drawn up by another architect or builder, Alexander Stevens. Alexander Stevens submitted his first design for the bridge in 1784. Work began on the bridge in 1792. Teviot Bridge has three arches, with pedestrian passing places above the pillars supporting the central and largest span. Each of the bridge's piers stands on a wedge shaped cut water designed to break the current of the river.
