The Haugh of Drimmie Bridge is a road bridge near the Scottish village of Bridge of Cally in the Council Area Perth and Kinross . In 1971 the bridge was included in the Scottish monument lists, initially in category B. The upgrade to the highest monument category A took place in 1981.
description
The chain bridge crosses the Ericht about three kilometers southeast of the hamlet Bridge of Cally. As an engineer, John Justice planned the structure, which was built around 1830. It leads a side street with no infrastructural importance over the river. The bridge is similar in construction to the Glenisla School Bridge in Kirkton of Glenisla , which was also designed by Justice, but is larger.
The wrought iron Haugh of Drimmie Bridge has two pylons with a square profile with a side length of 76 mm. They are 3.1 m high. The clear width is 32 m. The pylons are rooted in the rock on both sides of the Ericht. The bridge deck is directly connected to the pylons via seven eye poles . On the bank side, three 38 mm diameter tension rods are anchored in the ground. The pylons are connected to each other on each side with a segment-arched cover. The bridge deck consists of steel ribs made of flat iron on which the 3.2 m wide wooden ceiling of the bridge rests.
