Let’s face it—when you hear “Roman Bridge,” you expect gladiators and emperors, but this one’s a bit of a twist. The so-called Roman Bridge on the Murthly Castle estate in Perthshire isn’t actually Roman. Shocking, I know. Built in the mid-19th century, it’s a masterpiece of Romanesque style, complete with six beautiful arches spanning the dramatic Birnam Burn. They knew how to make things grand back then, no doubt about it. This wasn’t just a simple crossing—it was a statement.
