Looking at this again does anyone else think that this is a side channel and behind the bridge the main channel is running either left/right or right/left across the picture?

Yes, now that you mention it, I think you may be correct.

The water appears to be very shallow in the foreground.

It looks so like many of the bridges around here (Lake District), but I can't match the fellside up in the background with any of the ones I can think of. The construction is very like the bridge over the river Brathay but the background is wrong.

Killin is a rocky river at both sides of the bridge http://www.instantstreetview.com/@56.462823,-4.319992,-161.1h,-14.47p,1.33z

Could it be the double bridge at Grange in Borrowdale? Can't get a good photograph from river level in the right direction and the fell side doesn't quite look right. Maybe the vegetation has been cleared.

So very near Eric, but I think your bridge has a bigger hump back than the one in Caz's photo. I think you are in the right area though.

Hello,
     Like 'jaywit' I think this is a side channel. Look at the far bank through the arch. All the water we see there would have to sweep round to come under the bridge, making it quite turbulent. I think there may be another span to the right of this one taking the main channel of the river.
     Follow the line of the top of the bridge from left to right. Just past the 'snowman with the black hat' does the top of the bridge start to slope upwards, or is it just foliage giving that impression?
     There are dozens of similar bridges, but, I haven't found one with a matching background as yet. Unfortunately, this website only covers Scotland.

     Good luck with your search.
               Regards,     Dod.

I enlarged the photo to look at it more closely - is that a building that can be seen through the arch of the bridge on the far bank?
