Description

Six Mile Bridge sits on the Toll Road (HER ref. 1067). One source claims that a survey of the North Road of 1675 indicates a bridge over the Seaton Burn. A travellers map of 1769 shows an inn at the Six Mile Bridge. The inn is thought to have had its own brewery in the nineteenth century, but the presesnt inn dates from the early twentieth century.
