Blyth Bridge is a small hamlet in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, near to West Linton.
It is located in a bend on the A701 which goes from Moffat to Edinburgh, close to the junction with the East-West road the A72 which goes to Peebles.
Places nearby include the Lyne Water, Carlops, Romannobridge, and the Deepsyke Forest.
There is an aqueduct carrying a large water main which supplies Edinburgh and passes over Tarth Water.
There are a number of iron age forts on the hills nearby, and the historic Drochil Castle is a short distance away.
Blythbank Farm nearby currently has a planning permission application to make it the largest free range egg farm in the world.
Famous quotes containing the word bridge:
“A circle swoop, and a quick parabola under the bridge arches
Where light pushes through;
A sudden turning upon itself of a thing in the air.
A dip to the water.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
