description
The Shillahill Bridge, about three kilometers west of Lockerbie, was built in the mid-19th century. The masonry viaduct leads the A709 (Lockerbie - Dumfries ) over the Annan . The arch bridge is made with five flat segment arches , of which the central one has the greatest width. The outer arches run over land and are designed as relief arches in the event of flooding. The masonry of Shillahill Bridge consists of red, in many places embossed stone blocks. Pointed icebreakers emerge from the pillars on both sides . A belt cornice runs at the level of the road . Brick parapets delimit the roadway. They fan out on both driveways. They finish with natural stone caps.
