Kelso Bridge, Road bridge in Kelso, Scotland
The stone bridge spans the River Tweed with five elliptical arches, each measuring 72 feet in length and featuring distinctive twin columns supporting pedestrian refuges.
Engineer John Rennie designed this bridge between 1800 and 1803 to replace an earlier structure from 1754 that collapsed during a severe storm in 1797.
The bridge represents early 19th-century Scottish engineering and includes decorative elements such as bullnosed cutwaters and ornamental lamp columns at its terminations.
Carrying the A699 road across the River Tweed, the 24-foot-wide structure provides generous pavements for pedestrians and includes safety refuges along its span.
Two cast-iron lamps from the original London Waterloo Bridge were installed at the western end of Kelso Bridge following the London bridge's demolition in 1936.
