The Guardbridge Hotel

Guardbridge, 3 miles north-west of St Andrews and just south of Leuchars stands at the head of the estuary and lowest bridging point of the River Eden. The six-arched Old Guard Bridge (or Gaire Brig) from which the town's name is derived was built in the 15th century.

 

Today the old bridge has been superseded by a new bridge which carries the A91 to St Andrews.

 

The Guardbridge Hotel stands on the Old St Andrews Road, next to the original bridge, handy for the modern main road but pleasantly set back.
