Tweed Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Peebles, Scotland.
Tweed Bridge is a stone arch structure crossing the River Tweed with five arches that divides the town in two. The upstream side features pointed cutwater triangles while the downstream side shows rounded profiles.
The bridge dates to the 15th century with records from 1465 mentioning mason John of Peebles working on it. It underwent expansion and enhancement between 1897 and 1900 when decorative elements were added.
The bridge serves as a focal point in the town's landscape, where people cross daily and pause to notice the river below. It anchors the community's sense of place and continuity with its past.
The structure carries the B7062 road and serves as the main traffic crossing in Peebles. Pedestrians can use the walkways to cross safely above the river.
Cast iron street lamps decorated with intertwined dolphin motifs adorn the bridge parapets. These ornamental lights were installed during the modernization around 1900 and continue to shape its appearance.
