1824 Bridge was built by [[J. Justice and Co|John Justice and Company]] of Dundee to span the River Islay near Kirkton of Glenisla. It is one of the earliest surviving Scottish examples of a suspension bridge. The bridge is actually a cross between a suspension and a cantilever bridge, since the deck is suspended from the two low-slung stretcher wires braced by stays from pylons. At each end of the bridge, the piers are joined by a cast-iron arch, or overthrow, bolted to the mast-heads. At the top of each overthrow is a plaque inscribed: "Jn. JUSTICE DUNDEE 1824".
