| ROMAN BRIDGE (Continued) | Roman Bridge} Continued | 023 | [continued from page 90] "At Duntocher there is a bridge called Roman, but it it is considered by some of the best antiquarians to have no greater claim to such high antiquity than that the materials may have been afforded by the neighbouring Fort. Others however are inclined to support the antiquity of the Bridge. Its appearance is much in favour of an ancient date. Beside it there is a stone with an insciption, bearing that the bridge was repaired in 1772 by Lord Blantyre and also stating that it was built by Adrian, which proves what was the current opinion at the time of erecting the stones." New Statl. [Statistical] Account. The above descriptions &c. of this Bridge are all that can be given. As a well-known name used by all classes of people in the Country to the Bridge, it is authorized without any opinion of the personal authorities quoted, being given of its antiquity. On the north-west of the Bridge a stone with an Inscription in Latin is erected. (Quote if required the translation which is given on Trace from Slater's Dictionary) |
