Old Bridge of Dean, Meigle, Scotland: A Journey Back in Time This photograph, taken circa 1908, showcases the Old Bridge of Dean in Meigle, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Often referred to as the Roman Bridge due to its ancient origins, this architectural marvel spans the picturesque Perth Dean Water, a burn that flows through the heart of Strathmore. The Old Bridge of Dean is a testament to Scotland's rich history, with its construction believed to date back to the 1st or 2nd century AD. Over the centuries, it has served as a vital transportation link, connecting the communities on either side of the water. The photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing a time when horse-drawn carriages and foot traffic were the primary modes of transportation. The bridge's sturdy arches and worn-down stones bear the weight of history, telling tales of the people and events that have passed through it. The surrounding landscape, lush and green, adds to the serene beauty of the scene. The gentle flow of the Perth Dean Water, with its crystal-clear waters, enhances the picturesque quality of the image. This photograph is a reminder of Scotland's rich history and the enduring charm of its ancient structures. It invites us to imagine the stories that lie hidden within the stones of the Old Bridge of Dean and the people who have crossed it throughout the ages.
