hello...Nungate Bridge
One of Scotland’s oldest bridges, the bridge dates from the 16th century, although a bridge has stood on this site since at least 1282. The 30m bridge was once a main route into the town and was used by numerous invading armies. It was severely damaged during the Siege of Haddington in 1548 and it is likely that the current bridge was constructed shortly thereafter. The bridge consists of three red sandstone arches. The ‘jougs’, used to restrain criminals, were removed in 1672, but criminals were still hanged from the iron hook which can be seen in the westernmost arch.

Hello Dale,
A very nice view across this old and narrow bridge towards the old houses of the town. You captured them in a very nice light and with an attractive sky in the background.

Hello Dale,
Found on Google-Map the precise spot on the bridge where you took this picture, at 55.9547, -2.7716 .
Than nstrolled virtually around this medievil town, which has a nice mix of old era houses mingling with more modermn time houses. And all this surrounded with green fields.
Nice picture, delivered the real sight from there.
Good afternoon,
ike

Hello Dale,
A nice bridge only allowed for pedestrians, and perhaps cyclists. The view generally is attractive, and my favourite detail is the gable of the nearest house and the slightly oddly placed windows. The light and colours are very good.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Dale,
We can't actually see the arches to which you refer but, nevertheless, this is a very well constructed composition and one which is nicely exposed.
The converging lines of the bridge make excellent lead lines to the focal houses and create a fine sense of depth.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)
