Regent Bridge was designed by the architect Archibald Elliot, and built between 1816 and 1819 to improve access to central Edinburgh from the London Road approach. Robert Stevenson was the engineer for the project. The Bridge spans a ravine between Calton Hill and Princes Street. The road which it carries was named Waterloo Place to commemorate the great battle of 1815.
