Romanno Bridge carries the A701 over the Lyne Water at the southern end of the small village of Romannobridge, which obviously takes its name from the bridge. The older crossing is a stone arch built from a reddish stone, and was built in 1774. There is a single large span across the river, with two smaller flood arches on the north bank. The bridge is neatly detailed, with a drip mould over the arch ring, and then a peaked cornice line above below the parapet. The roadway is slightly humped and narrower over the main arch, with flared abutments allowing wider approaches. The parapets are topped with flat coping stones, and terminate simply after extended wing walls. The bridge has been bypassed, but retained as a footpath between houses in the village, with bollards at the A701 end.This is supposed to have been An Ancient British encampment of which the following mention is made in a Book lately published entitled Peebles and its neighbourhood by W Chambers 1856. Peeblesshire Abounds in Camps of the ancient British people who inhabited "the Gadeni" As the tribe in this quarter of Scotland was called. These British Camps are situated on the tops of Hills and are uniformly circular in form they seem to have been composed of at least two circular Mounds four or five feet high with a sunk ditch between the outer and inner Circle such were the rude enclosures in which a rude people took refuge with their goods during the Roman Invasion A Substantially built Stone-bridge of three Arches over the Lyne Water on the turnpike road leading from Edinburgh to Broughton. One of the Arches spans the Lyne, and is over a Mill-lead and the other is a dry Arch. This is a County bridge and its name (which is well known throughout the County) is derived from the mansion house of Romanno, in the immediate vicinity. It crosses the Forth Water (which forms part of the boundary of Newlands parish) about a mile above Drochil Castle running Eastward and following the Course of the water, till it passes the Castle it then turns and passes first S. [South] Callands then Callands House and on to Mountain Cross there it crosses the public road and passes on in the inside of the western boundary of the parish till it enters the parish of Linton; the reason for its having got this name was because of its having been traversed by Mosstroopers or Salters as they were also called for the purpose of processing salt at the Forth at the same time stealing everything that they could get a hold of.

Outside, the large garden has a paved patio (with furniture) and an extensive grassed area. Although not fully enclosed, there is plenty of room for children to run and play. There is a gravelled parking area with space for four cars and a stable in the adjoining field, so you could even bring your horse along!A Neat and well constructed house two storeys high with large vegetable gardens attached, the property and residence for the time being of the Revd.
