Could someone please look at all the pictures on the link Cazza posted before:
http://www.kweimar.de/Bilder_XML.php?ket=S1268#prettyPhoto[pp_gal]/0/

It's just when I look at some of the pictures the top looks flat then I look at another picture and it looks arched in the middle??? Is one side arched and the other flat?

Thanks SL!  ;D

I still think it's right, particular when you compare the brick work, but as a couple of people have expressed doubts, when I get a minute, I'm going to try and overlay my photo with a different one and try to positively match the bricks…not sure what else to do.

You can go to Brig O Turk Bridge on Street View and compare the surrounding landscape. It carries the A821 road
I have niggly doubts myself, would like to see that hill from the Street View outlook but so far I can't find it ...

I really can't make up my mind on this one. I've googled lots of images of Brig o Turk, and the micro-landscape around it has changed quite a lot over the years so they all look different. I haven't found one yet that would say definitely yes or definitely no. It has to be a contender, for the moment.

I know of a landscape history group based in the Trossachs so I'll see whether they can help.

At the moment, I would have say "not proven".

 :( Party pooper!   Kidding!!  ;D ;D  I agree, we have to be sure and you're right about trying to find two images that remotely look like the same.

PS I have marked the topic "Uncompleted" until we find proof positive (but I'm sure I'm right  :P :P :P :P ;D ;D ;D ;D).

Hello Cazza59,
     Hope this is the proof you need.
     Not much of the bridge on show on this old Postcard but click on the image to enlarge and take a close look at the hill in the background. I'd be grateful if someone would do an overlay but I'm 100% sure your "Little Bridge" is Brig o' Turk.
     Hope I'm not too early to say congratulations. Fantastic find. :) ;D ;D :)
     (Especially since I've been searching Scottish bridges for the last 2 weeks) :'(
