15th Century pedestrian bridge with lovely views over the River Nith. Steps on one side but they're easy to push your bike up or down, then you can ride over the rest of the bridge. Worth stopping for the view though.

The Devorgilla Bridge (also known as Old Bridge) in Dumfries is one of Scotland's oldest surviving bridges. It spans the River Nith and dates back to a wooden bridge endowed around 1260 by Lady Devorgilla of Galloway. The present stone bridge mainly dates from the 15th century and has been rebuilt several times after flood damage. Originally it had nine arches, today six remain.
Directly beside the bridge stands the historic Old Bridge House, one of the oldest houses in Dumfries.
