The Canongate Bridge is a pedestrian bridge in the Scottish Borders town of Jedburgh. In 1971, the bridge that was built as the town's main bridge in the 16th century, was added to the Scottish monuments in the top category.

Description

The Canongate Bridge is a 16th-century stone arch bridge that crosses Jed Water in the centre of Jedburgh. The viaduct is built of cream-coloured sandstone and it spans the river with three arches, one of which normally runs over land. The passageway is up to three meters wide.[1] The bridge said to be in desperate need of repair in 1677[1] and 1770[2] and repairs took place in 1772.[1]

The Canongate Bridge was built as a road bridge and it has refuges where pedestrians can stand safely whilst heavy traffic passed. The bridge was the main access into the town but it has been closed to motorised traffic for some years.

The bridge is now within the town's conservation area and many of the surrounding buildings are listed. At one end is Duck Row and the Piper's House[3] and at the other the houses of Bridge End.
