How many bridges cross the River Ness?

How many bridges cross the River Ness?

Should you include the one's that link the Ness Islands?

You're missing one.

[Johnboy]

Trick question, obviously....

Could it be argued that the Kessock Bridge crosses the mouth of the River Ness?

No . I think its something stupid to do with the boating pond .

[+CaleyD]

Nothing to do with either the Kessock Bridge or the Boating Pond......the missing Bridge is as clear as can be and will be used by some forum users on a daily basis.

CaleyD!! your there answer the question, its doing my head in!! lol

[Libero]

surely the bridges crossing the islands cant be classed as a bridge over the ness?

all the bridges do is connect the banks of the ness to islands in the middle of the river, fair enough there is a route to get to the other side but i would never class the route through the islands as 'a bridge over the river ness'

I can't think of any other, must be a trick question !

[Connie.Orr]

Nine.

What's the prize, mister?

[DAM]

Is there not a breakwater that you can walk across up where the river meets the loch? Can you class that as a "bridge".

[ICTFCkev]

8.

[Scotty]

I now know the answer :P

Whether you class the Island Bridge(s) as a proper crossing or not matters not a jot, those bridges are not the issue (although CD did clarify in the original post that he counted that as one crossing). There is also not a sneaky wee classification of the weir as a bridge, nor is there a bridge that traverses the river at the boating pond.

Its more of a technicality, and I have a photo that shows it ;)
