011.12 | " About a quarter of a mile east of Bothwell Haugh, there is a Bridge across the South Calder, supposed to be of Roman construction. It is supposed to have been on the great Roman Road called "Watlin Street" which ran throughthis part of the country for several miles on the south east bank of the Clyde" New Statistical Account " There is a Bridge over the South Calder which is thought to be of Roman construction; it is a single arch of 20 feet span, high , narrow & without parapets. One of the four great Roman Roads in Britain, heading to it from the east( called "Watling" or "Watlin Street") through Dalziel Parish was in a state of considerable preservation towards the end of the last century." Fullarton's Gazetteer The Bridge is in good preservation everywhere except on the top where the Road crosses it. The masonry is uncovered at the present time, the stones of the top or road over the arch, being the only thing to walk upon. |
