007.04 | The site of a Bridge, said to have been as ancient in its founding as far back as the 12th Century, And some remains of which were removed about 80 years ago for building purposes, It is said to have been constructed after the primeval Style of laying planks from pier to pier, there being three in all, and the bridgeward dwelling in the centre one, in the middle of the Tweed; and drawing the Ends up at night, could be as defiant as he pleased. A fine idea of the bridge and its keeper is pictured by Sir W. Scott in ' The Monastery' - It was here also the Holy way and Girthgate crossed - |
