062 | A stone bridge of seven arches spanning the River Tay at Dunkeld property of the Duke of Atholl, there is a toll bar at its south end at which pontage is levied on all crossing. "In 1805 the building of Dunkeld Bridge was commenced. It was opened in 1808. For ages previous to that time, there was no communication but by ferry-boats. It is a singularly elegant structure, on which no expense has been spared to unite taste and magnificence with convenience. This place and the country in general are indebted for it, principally to the spirit and liberality of John fourth duke of Athole. The total expense was about £35,000, but of which the Government advanced £5000. The tolls granted for the remainder yield but a small interest on the sums advanced by the Athole family. The length of the bridge is 485 feet, its breadth 27, and its greatest height from the foundation 54. There are five principal and two land arches, the span of the central one being 90 feet, and the others, in succession 85, 75 and 26." Dunkeld, its Straths & Glens |
