Kirkdale Bridge, Road bridge in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
Kirkdale Bridge spans across Kirkdale Burn with three arches, featuring a central span of 6 meters and two flanking spans of 3.8 meters each.
The bridge, constructed in 1787 based on Robert Adam's plans, underwent substantial modifications in 1857 when it was widened from 6.1 to 12.8 meters.
The structure received Category A listed building status in 1971, marking its position among Scotland's most significant architectural and engineering achievements.
While no longer open to vehicular traffic, the bridge continues to serve as a footbridge, providing access across Kirkdale Burn for local residents.
The bridge includes distinctive architectural elements such as rubble oculi in the spandrels between arches and bull-nosed cutwater buttresses with conical caps.
