Kirkdale Bridge
- ... that Robert Adam's plans for Kirkdale Bridge were substantially more elaborate than the structure that Sir Samuel Hannay was eventually willing to pay for on his estate in Dumfries and Galloway?

This is also discussed in the offline sources referenced in the article, eg Hume: "planned as a neo-Egyptian extravaganza... ...as built, plain and workmanline, though handsomely proportioned, and doubtless easier on Sir Samuel's purse".

Hi Girth, nice article! Review: it's new and long enough, well-sourced and neutrally written, no copyvio detected by Earwig's tool, QPQ done, hook is interesting, AGF on the offline source. Is "John Hannay" a typo? It's Samuel in the article. DanCherek (talk) 15:14, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- DanCherek How on earth did I manage that? I've no idea who John Hannay is, don't know what I was thinking. Changed in the hook, and thanks! GirthSummit (blether) 17:23, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
