The old bridge (15th century) over the River Doon at Alloway just outside Ayr. Made famous in the last verse of Robert Burns poem Tam O' Shanter which is probably why it is still standing today. Brig O' Doon was also possibly the inspiration for the 1954 movie Brigadoon.

A nice shot Fred, I wonder how many modern bridges will still be standing in a few centuries time? not many, if any, I would guess!.

Thanks Tony. This bridge was described as ruinous in 1593 and it was to be demolished when the new bridge opened.

Fred, I consider these structures to be at least, if not more, important than many of the edifices that have had millions thrown at them!

Tony, my thoughts exactly. :)
