Looking upstream

The A837 crosses the River Cassley just above its confluence with the River Oykel at Rosehall. It is a single track, twin arch stone bridge with unequal arches and triangular cutwaters to the central pier which stands in the middle of the river channel. It is tentatively dated as 1823, due to its similarities with the Shin Bridge nearby, which was built at that time. Unlike many of the old bridges in the local area, it is still in use, despite the slightly humped profile of the roadway making it difficult to see approaching traffic.
