Ballantrae Stone Bridge, South Ayrshire - Stone Bridges on Waymarking.com

Almost two hundred years of increasing use as the ferry ports to the South on A77 main road became busier.
An information board between the two bridges on grassed area explains more of the history of this site.

Sir John Hamilton bought the lands of Bargany and Ardstinchar in 1650. In 1770 the stones of the ruined Ardstinchar Castle were used to build a three arch bridge across the Stinchar river. Letters of this transaction are here.

This bridge is no longer used except by determined pedestrians as there are barriers on both sides. See pix.
