Village in the Scottish Borders
Romannobridge is a hamlet on the Lyne Water, on the A701, in the Scottish Borders.
Settlements nearby include West Linton,[1] Halmyre, Dolphinton, Blyth Bridge, and Mountain Cross. The village is served by a community centre (the Newlands Centre), a small primary school (Newlands Primary) and a church (Kirkurd and Newlands Parish Church of Scotland).
The eponymous bridge itself was constructed in 1774.[2] The large central arch is complemented by two small side arches set at higher level, which specifically address flood overflow.[3]
Romannobridge is on the route of the main drovers’ road for livestock headed to market in England, and is now a stop on the Cross Borders Drove Road long-distance path.
