Dunans Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Kilmodan, Scotland.

Dunans Bridge stands 15 meters above the river bed, featuring three rubble arches and eight hexagonal piers across the waterway.

Built in 1815 by engineer Thomas Telford, the bridge was commissioned by John Fletcher to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo that same year.

The bridge represents a period of Scottish engineering advancement, demonstrating the architectural capabilities and social priorities of early 19th century Scotland.

Restoration work began on the eastern arch in late 2023, with additional repairs scheduled through 2025 to maintain this Category A listed structure.

This structure remains the only surviving bridge of its specific three-arched design type, earning recognition among Scotland's ten most notable bridges.
