| CRIEFF BRIDGE | Crieff Bridge Crieff Bridge Crieff Bridge |
New Statistical Account Thomas Soutar Esqr. Alexander Monteath Esqr. |
095 | An old stone bridge of four arches, spanning the River Earn at the southern extremity of the town of Crieff, and on the T.P. [Turnpike] Road leading from Stirling to that town. Repaired by the county. "The rivers are all furnished with stone bridges, generally built by the voluntary contributions of the country. That of Crieff was the second stone bridge ever thrown over the Earn. It consists of four large arches; and was built out of the vacant stipend of the parish, in the interval between the suppression of Episcopacy in 1690, and the readmission of a Presbyterian minister in 1699. One of the arches - the farthest south - was broken down by the Highlanders in the year 1715, to assist the progress of the royalist forces. It was afterwards rebuilt; but the frame that was used, must have been one which had been employed in constructing some other bridge, - for the new arch is somewhat higher, and not quite in keeping with the remaining arches of the Crieff Bridge."
