| Dunkeld Bridge | Continued | [continued from page 45] 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. Tthe 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 685 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 & 26.
