Near its source it is occasionally called "Motray Burn", but "Water" is the correct name: it is common in Scotland to apply "burn" to all streams, independent of any proper names which they may have. |

The Guard Bridge is a large bridge of Six arches over the Eden on the road from St. Andrews to Cupar. It was constructed by Bishop Wardlaw about four centuries ago. There are three coats of arms; one on the keystone, and one on the arch at each side of it, they are all obliterated. A person of the name of [Ware] had a small piece of land granted to him, for minding the bridge, and acting as doomster to the Bishop's Court of Regality. There was a chain across the bridge to prevent any but the gentry to cross, the commonality had to cross the ford. The bridge is just wide enough to admit of one carriage to cross A number of houses on the North and South side of the Eden, one and two stories high, with the harbour and sheds on the North side, all in good repair, with gardens attached; form the village of Guard Bridge. The greater part of the inhabitants work at the distillery, the rest are agricultural labourers. The houses on the South side belong to Mr. Charles [Ware] and are built on the property that was presented to his ancestors. Those on the North side belong to J. H. Rigg Esqr. of Tarvit and Mr. Spence, Guard Bridge. |

[Page] 46) [Quotation] Stat:Acct: [Statistical Account] Page 478
"The bridges are kept in a good state of repair. The only one deserving of
"particular notice is the Guard or Gair Bridge, which affords a passage across
"the Eden, at the point where the roads from Dundee and Cupar to St. Andrews
"meet. It was constructed four centuries ago, by Bishop Wardlaw, the founder
"of the University. It consists of six arches, and the only inconvenience attending
"it is it's narrowness, which is such as not to admit of two carriages passing each other."
New Stat: acct: [Statistical Account] Page 478
[Quotation]
Before closing this episcopate [Bishop Wardlaw's], it ought to be recorded of our bishop, that he has the
credit of having built the handsome bridge over the river Eden, four miles from St. Andrews, which,
at the time. was reckoned the finest in Scotland, except those at Aberdeen and Glasgow.
The fact of its having been constructed by Wardlaw, rests on the authority of Martins,
Spottiswood, and others, who, however, do not inform us as whence they derived their in-
formation. But it ought to be known, that on two of the buttresses, and on the
keystone of one of the arches of this bridge, are three coats of arms. That on the
arch is so much effaced, that nothing can be distinguished except the mitre crest
above the shield, and a small scroll hanging down on each side of it. But the two
on the buttresses are the well-known arms of Archbishop James Beaton, whose initials |

[Quotation - continued]
are at the side of the shield. His episcopate extended from A.D.1522 till 1539. This may perhaps make it a matter of doubt whether Wardlaw or Beaton were the original constructor of the Gare Bridge (2). The first may have built it, the second rebuild is of more suitable dimensions; though it is still too narrow to allow of carriages passing."
(2)"There is a family of the name of [Warr] who still have a few acres of land near this bridge, which were granted to their ancestors by the Bishops of St.Andrews, on condition of their performing the twofold office of keeping the bridge, and acting as doomster to the bishops Court of regality. In former times, a chain was stretched across the bridge, which it was the duty of the Keeper to remove, in order to allow the horses or carriages of the gentry to pass over; the carts of the commonalty being obliged to ford the stream at low tide. In his judicial capacity, the doomster was required, by his charter to yield all due obedience to the seneschal of the bishop: and both to pronounce and execute the dooms or sentence of his court. The proper name of the bridge we may observe, is Gare, not Guard, as it is commonly called. Gare, in Gaelic, signifies a fishing station: hence we have Gare-loch, the Garry, Gare, or Garr &c.
