description
The Haugh Bridge, located on the southern edge of the Haugh of Urr, was built around 1763 as part of a military road. The masonry viaduct made of quarry stone leads a side road leading to Castle Douglas over the Urr Water . The approximately 30 m long arch bridge spans the river with two lined segment arches . During a restoration in the course of the 19th century, they may have been re-bricked. Pointed icebreakers emerge from the pillar on both sides . They run into shallow alternative bays for pedestrians. Brick parapets with natural stone caps limit the roadway. They fan out on the driveways.
