You know I like bridges.

This one could be seen from Sueno’s Stone. It’s a pedestrian one across the A 96.

In Forres itself there was this impressive church, St Leonard’s:-

And an Art Deco style shop with great upper glazing and, partial “sunburst” metalwork on the roofline:-

The elegant Craigellachie Bridge was built over the River Spey near Aberlour (or Charlestown of Aberlour) by renowned Scottish engineer Thomas Telford. The village is home to the distillery which makes Aberlour Whisky.

I was able to go off the main A 95 road to take a few pictures of the bridge.

St Mary’s Collegiate Church, Haddington is a fine example of church architecture.

Church from approach path:-

The next two photos are stitches:-

The River Tyne flows past the rear of the church and under the Nungate Bridge:-

I assume at one time nuns passed through the Nungate on their way to and from the church.

Thirsk is a town in North Yorkshire. We’d never visited before so dropped in on our way back up from Knaresborough and Harrogate.

The Clock Tower in the market place was decorated for Remembrance Day:-

I spotted the Ritz Cinema:-

And this nice bridge over the Cod Beck:-

In the grounds of Knaresborough Castle there is a board containing information about the gorge the River Nidd runs through:-

In the town itself we came upon the town crier relaying his news about the activities of various societies in the town:-

At the bottom of a hill where we were looking for an antique and second hand bookshop there was this bridge over the Nidd:-

The building to the left behind it is the Mother Shipton Inn. We didn’t bother visiting Mother Shipton’s Cave as it’s not really our thing:-

Views from the bridge:-

The antique shop and bookshop was behind where the first photo in this post was taken:-

The Auld Brig, Ayr. Old bridge over the River Ayr, from newer bridge:-

The newer bridge:-

Other bridges over River Ayr. The nearest is a footbridge, behind that is the rail bridge and behind that again is another road bridge:-

The John Adam Bridge was not the first I saw at Dumfries House. This pedestrian bridge crosses the Polcalk Burn near the Café and Shop:-

Thee’s also an elegant Chinese Bridge; here seen from the John Adam Bridge:-

Closer view of Chinese Bridge:-

The grounds of Dumfries House contain at least three bridges (over the Lugar Water.)

This one was designed by John Adam:-

Approach to Bridge:-

Adam Bridge seen from Chinese Bridge:-

Broughton is in Tweeddale in the Scottish Borders. I featured its War Memorial here.

This nice wee bridge is over a burn, the Biggar Water, which flows beside the main A 701 road through the village.

Reverse view:-

This quaint (shepherd’s?) hut was in the next field:-

Hut and sheep’s feeder:-

We had a look round the vilage cemetery. I found two war graves.

Private W Taylor, Highland Light Infantry, 10/11/1918, aged 21:-

Flight Lieutenant L E Falla, RAF, 12/9/1945, aged 49.

I mentioned here the works towards replacing the old bridge over the Back Burn at the eighteenth green of Balbirnie Golf Course.

Those works were completed some time ago. I finally got round to photographing the new one in March (and to posting those photos now):-

In the background of the photo above you can see the remaining old bridge at the other side of the fairway.
