Dunans Bridge is a category A-listed structure, designed by Thomas Telford. It is located at Dunans Castle on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll, Scotland. It was built for John Fletcher of Dunans, to commemorate the battle of Waterloo. The bridge was completed in 1815, and predates the 1864 elaboration of Dunans House by Kerr into a Franco-Baronial "castle". The three-arched rubble construction is considered internationally important as it is the only extant bridge of this type. It stands over 15 metres (49 ft) from the river bed and has been voted one of Scotland's ten best bridges. It was built to replace the now destroyed "swing bridge". Though it is of a kind often constructed by Telford, the three arches, gargoyles and eight hexagonal piers, as well as its sheer height 16 metres (52 ft),

| - Die Dunans Bridge ist eine steinerne Bogenbrücke über den Fluss im Tal Glendaruel auf der schottischen Halbinsel Cowal. Sie bildet die Zufahrt zu dem denkmalgeschützten Schloss Dunans Castle und ist über eine Abzweigung von der zu erreichen. John Fletcher, 3. of Dunans gab die Dunans Bridge in Auftrag. Als Architekt des im Jahre 1815 fertiggestellten Bauwerks war möglicherweise Thomas Telford für die Planung verantwortlich. 1971 wurde die Brücke in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen.

Als Architekt des im Jahre 1815 fertiggestellten Bauwerks war möglicherweise Thomas Telford für die Planung verantwortlich. 1971 wurde die Brücke in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Kategorie A aufgenommen. Obschon sich Dunans Bridge noch in einem ordentlichen Zustand befindet, ist sie als gefährdetes Bauwerk eingetragen. Als Ausgangspunkt der Gefährdung wird der Pflanzenbewuchs auf der Brücke angegeben, welcher die Substanz schwächen könnte. Außerdem wurden die Pfeilerkappen nicht fachgerecht mit Zement repariert. Die Eigentümer geben an Dunans Bridge zusammen mit dem Schloss restaurieren zu wollen. (de)

Though it is of a kind often constructed by Telford, the three arches, gargoyles and eight hexagonal piers, as well as its sheer height 16 metres (52 ft), make it unique. The structure is in the "At Risk" category on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland. The 2008 inspection indicated: "there is significant vegetation growth on and around the structure and the buttress caps have been damaged by cement repairs." (en)
