(Location cited as NT 307 983). Packbridge near Coaltown of Balgonie. A narrow stone bridge of two arches and without parapets, crossing the River Ore to the S of Coaltown of Balgonie, this bridge of indeterminate age appears to have been used by the pack animals transporting coal from the Balgonie mines to the coast of the Firth of Forth for shipping.
