Ann's Bridge, a picturesque locality in Johnstone parish, Dumfriesshire, on the river Kinnel, 7½ miles N by W of Lochmaben. A bridge here, on the line of road from Dumfries to Edinburgh, was built in 1782, rebuilt in 1795, and widened and improved in 1817. A reach of the Kinnel's vale, above and below the bridge, is exquisitely beautiful; and the splendid mansion of Raehills, with its fine gardens and grounds, is close by.
