Description:
View of the Old Bridge, also known as Devorgilla Bridge, on the River Nith in Dumfries, Scotland. A windmill can be seen on a hillside in the background, and a man pulling a rowing boat toward the bank in the foreground, along with some cows.
The original Devorgilla Bridge was built in the late thirteenth century and was probably made of wood. The construction seen in this picture dates back to the seventeenth century, after the original bridge was partly swept away by floods.
