This looks like a great spot for fishing. Maybe we should invite a fishing forum to take a look.

I was thinking from the reflections that the sun is probably behind the camera, but can anyone say which way the water is flowing? I wasn't sure.

I'd say towards the camera.

Do you think it could be an outfall from a lake?

Sorry, Carol. I was away last week so not up to speed! And I admit I had not read the whole thread through - just skimmed enough to work out it had not been solved!

     Another bridge with shallow river and very similar hill in the background. Newton Bridge, River Almond, Sma' Glen, Perthshire. This is a Wade Bridge. Lots built in very similar style in the Scottish Highlands.                   
               www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1993414
     Click on 'Bridge Carries the A822 over the River' on bottom left of photo for a few more views of this bridge.
     
     Newton Bridge again.
               www.fishingnet.com/angling/river-almond
     Scroll down to 5th photo. (Found before fishing forum mentioned!)
     
     View through the arch on this one.

     Don't think this is the right bridge, too chunky, but the hill in the background is very, very similar. Find it on Google Maps under Newton Bridge, Dunkeld.
               Regards,     Dod.
