  The Ladykirk and Norham Bridge connects Ladykirk in the Borders, Scotland, with Norham in Northumberland, England, across the River Tweed.
  
  Earlier bridges
  The previous bridge was a timber trestle built between 1838 and 1839 by J. Blackmore. The bridge was funded by subscribers purchasing shares; David Robertson, 1st Baron Marjoribanks paid L.3000, and ten others paid L.500 each.
  
  This bridge used curved ribs eight planks deep at the ends and three planks deep in the middle, where each individual plank is  deep. These were used to create two arches, each of  span and  rise, each arch was supported by two trusses. The planks were  long, and no piece of timber in the bridge was longer than . The roadway was  wide. The entire bridge was restored in 1852, with the exception of the stone piers.
  
  History
  Construction of the present stone bridge lasted from 1885 to 1887. The bridge is listed at grade II by English Heritage and at category B by Historic Scotland.
  
  It was designed by Thomas Codrington and Cuthbert A. Brereton for the Tweed Bridges Trust.
  
  Design
  It is a late stone road arch bridge with four spans. The two middle arches are of  span, and the outer two of  span, and the width of the roadway between the parapets is . The outer piers have triangular cutwaters, but the central pier has a curved cutwater that continues up to the height of the road, with a break in the parapet to create a refuge for pedestrians.
  
  The bridge uses dressed-stone for the arch rings, and has coursed-rubble spandrels and wing walls. It is built from red sandstone, and faced with ashlar dressings. The spandrels are hollow to reduce the load on the arches, an innovation by Thomas Telford.
  
  The bridge carries the B6470 public road between the villages of Ladykirk in Scotland and Norham in England. It is just downstream of a river island in the Tweed.
