The Mertoun Bridge is a bridge across the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders. ==History== The Act of Parliament that authorised the building of a bridge was passed in 1837, and it was designed by James Slight of Edinburgh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mertoun Bridge )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mertoun Bridge (Ref:15113) ) 〕 Although the original design was for a bridge built entirely of stone, it was eventually built with stone piers and wooden arches, but with sufficiently strong piers and abutments to allow stone arches to be used in the future. A flood in September 1839 washed away all the wooden parts. It was rebuilt between 1839 and 1841 by William Smith of Montrose, with the piers raised by compared with the original design.〔 The stone arches were added in 1887. The bridge is a Category B listed building.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mertoun Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
