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. For hikers and history enthusiasts, the bridge is a landmark of Dumfries and a beautiful viewpoint over the River Nith.

There's a good little blue and red loop here with berms, rock drops etc. Its only a few hundred metres long, so you can do multiple laps. Then further up the hill is a short loop with tabletop jumps, and above this again is a fourcross course

This climb features a rising boardwalk through the trees. Don't mess up as it's a long way down to the burn below

A fairly steep and loose descent brings you to the burn splash without much time to suss it out before committing. It can get deep after rain but take it with speed and you will be fine!
