Dunans Bridge

Dunans Bridge is a stone arch bridge in Kilmodan that crosses the waterway with three spans and eight hexagonal stone piers. The structure is built from rubble stone and remains an example of early 19th-century crossing design.

This structure was built in 1815 by engineer Thomas Telford at the request of John Fletcher. Its construction coincided with a major historical event that influenced its commissioning.

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

The bridge is visible and accessible from the public road in this rural area. Visitors should be aware that maintenance work may affect conditions or access at any time.

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