Crossing the River Dee at Kirkcudbright

Following the posting of this letter on Facebook in December 2024, David R Collin thought we might be interested in an article written by him when he noticed the marked deterioration of its structural state in the early 1960s. (click to enlarge)

D R Collin’s article The Bridge over the Dee at Kirkcudbright

For further information about the crossing of the river from the ferry to the two bridges please refer to his book “Kirkcudbright an Alphabetical Guide to its History” or his Father’s “Bridging the Dee at Kirkcudbright”, T R Collin.

Thanks to David R Collin
