Dean BridgeLinking Queensferry Road and Queensferry Street to the northwest of Edinburgh city centre, the impressive sandstone Dean Bridge was designed and built by Thomas Telford in 1832. It carries a road 32m (106 feet) above the steep valley of the Water of Leith and is 136m (447 feet) in length.
An earlier design for a bridge had been produced by artist Alexander Nasmyth (1758 - 1840).
