Regent Bridge in Edinburgh, Scotland, is a cool arch bridge that was built back in the 19th century. It's where the A1 road enters the New Town from the east and passes over a hollow near Calton Hill. The bridge was constructed to make the city more accessible and elegant, replacing old streets with a fancy arch called Regent Bridge. It's a neat example of Greek Revival architecture and was officially opened in 1819 during Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg's visit to Edinburgh. So, if you're ever strolling around Edinburgh, don't forget to check out this historic and stylish bridge!
