Stockbridge and St Bernard’s
This view shows a rural scene enhanced by the new stone bridge over the Water of Leith designed by Alexander Steven in 1785. The previous timber bridge at the foot of Stockbridge Brae was probably for foot traffic only. The bridge is still in use today, though widened frequently over the years. To the left the thickly wooded banks of the Water of Leith line the boundary of the Earl of Moray’s pleasure grounds, and viewed through the trees are the bowed wings added to Drumsheugh House by Lord Moray who purchased the property in 1780. for more click here
