North Bridge was constructed from 1894 to 1897 by Sir William Arrol & Co., the company also noted for construction of the Forth Bridge. The design of the ornamentation was by the City architect of the time, Robert Morham.
A 3-span bridge 525 feet (160 m) long, with steel segmental arches on masonry piers. Spandrels of the outer ribs are faced with cast-iron panels decorated with swags and arcades. This bridge spans the former location of the (drained) Nor' Loch and the present Waverley Railway Station.
