Dunkeld Bridge, Road bridge in Dunkeld, Scotland.
The seven-arch stone bridge extends 685 feet across the River Tay, featuring triangular cutwaters and semicircular masonry towers for pedestrian refuge.
Engineer Thomas Telford constructed the bridge between 1805 and 1809 at a cost of £33,978, replacing previous ferry services across the River Tay.
The bridge received Category A listing status due to its engineering methods, which incorporated hollow spandrels for weight reduction and internal inspection access.
The structure connects the parishes of Dunkeld and Dowally to Little Dunkeld, carrying both vehicle and pedestrian traffic along Bridge Street.
The bridge maintains its original toll house at the southern end, marking the location where bridge fees were collected until their abolition in 1879.
