Heritage listing
Category A Date Added 29/10/1991 Local Authority Dundee Planning Authority Dundee Burgh Dundee NGR NO 46039 32702 Coordinates 346039, 732702 — Earlier 19th century. Single arch estate road bridge. Smooth, rusticated and corniced ashlar sandstone buttresses, 4 cast-iron elliptically-arched ribs with cast-iron 'keystone' masking central joint at outer ribs, spandrels formed by 7 decorative concentric circular motifs. Cast-iron balustrade with die at centre and cornice continuing from stone cornice at buttresses. Decking has Macadamed surface. — Linlathen House was built for David Graham in 1705 and extended for Thomas Erskine by William Sterling in circa 1830; the house was finally demolished in the 1980s. The south drive, lodge and gates (listed separately) together with this bridge appear on the 1857-58 OS map but not on the 1827 plan of the estate. It is therefore likely that they were all constructed following the extension of Linlathen House in circa 1830.
