Eglinton Tournament Bridge, Gothic footbridge in Eglinton Country Park, Scotland
The Tournament Bridge features cast iron arches and stone ornamental towers at each end, crossing the Lugton Water northwest of Eglinton Castle.
Architect David Hamilton designed the original three-arched bridge in 1811, with the current structure completed in 1845 under the 13th Earl of Eglinton.
The bridge received its name from the 1839 Eglinton Tournament where knights and guests used the previous Gothic structure to reach jousting events.
Following extensive restoration work in 2009, the Category B listed bridge now provides pedestrian access across Lugton Water within the public park.
Royal Engineers performed emergency repairs during World War II, encasing the structure in concrete to prevent its complete collapse.
