Cartland Craigs, Lanarkshire

The road bridge at Cartland Craigs, or Crags, near Lanark, owes everything to its imposing ravine setting. The bridge is carried aloft on two slender piers to 129 feet above Mouse Water. It was built between 1820 and 1823.

This contemporary print shows how the latest engineering marvels of the time were depicted as additions which enhanced the natural landscape.

A plate from The Atlas to the Life of Thomas Telford by Himself , published in 1838. The three arches were constructed using timber staging.
