Dryburgh Bridge, Suspension bridge in Scottish Borders, Scotland.
The steel and wooden footbridge stretches across the River Tweed, connecting the village of St. Boswells with the surrounding area.
Built in 1872, this crossing replaced earlier bridges from 1817 and 1838 that had collapsed due to structural issues and weather conditions.
The bridge forms part of a network of pathways linking local communities, enabling residents to attend churches and maintain social connections across the river.
Visitors can access the bridge from parking areas in St. Boswells, following marked trails that lead directly to the crossing point.
The structure represents the third bridge built at this location, following two failed attempts at creating cable-stayed designs in the early 19th century.
