Rumbling Bridge

Rumbling Bridge is a remarkable two-tiered stone structure that crosses the River Devon in Scotland, the name of which is inspired by the rumbling sound of the river cascading through the dramatic gorge beneath.
The structure consists of two levels, with a lower bridge sitting underneath an upper arch. The initial lower bridge was built around 1713, and the upper bridge was added in 1816, due to the steep gradient down to cross the older bridge. It is unclear why the first arch was not removed in the construction of the second, but this adds to the site’s historical intrigue.
