The bridges in the parish are numerous. That of Pooldhulie, which is the oldest and most ro- mantic, bears to have been erected by Alexander Forbes of Inverernan, in 1715. The bridge of Luib was built by Sir C. Forbes in 1832 ; and the Nochty, near the church, is spanned by a sub-
stantial iron bridge. Two bridges have also been thrown across the Don, near Newe Castle, upon each of which is an iron plate, embellished with the Forbes arms, and this inscription : —
Erected by Sir Charles Forbes, Bart., of Newe and Edinglassie, 1858, from a bequest by his grand uncle, John Forbes, Esq. of Newe.

The bridges in the parish are numerous. That
of Pooldhulie, which is the oldest and most ro-
mantic, bears to have been erected by Alexander
Forbes of Inverernan, in 1715. The bridge of Luib
was built by Sir C. Forbes in 1832 ; and the
Nochty, near the church, is spanned by a sub-
stantial iron bridge. Two bridges have also been
thrown across the Don, near Newe Castle, upon
each of which is an iron plate, embellished with
the Forbes arms, and this inscription : —

Replyand Edinglassie, 1858, from a bequest by his grand
