A picturesque and sturdy suspension bridge here, providing a fun wobble over the river. On the northern bank, you will see the Temple of the Muses, too.

If you are visiting the Dryburgh Abbey in the Scottish Borders, you might want to cross the Dryburgh Suspension Bridge* over the River Tweed. This footbridge was first built in 1817as the first chain bridge in Scotland, but it was blown down twice and replaced by a steel wire cable suspension bridge in 1911. The bridge has a span of about 260 feet and offers scenic views of the river and the surrounding landscape. The bridge was refurbished in the early 1990s and is open to the public.
