Mousemill Bridge is a crossing of the Mouse Water on Mousemill Road, just north of Kirkfieldbank. There are two bridges at the site, the present day road bridge and the old Mousemill Bridge which previously formed part of the road between Lanark and Hamilton through Kirkfieldbank but is today solely used by pedestrians.
The old Mousemill Bridge originated as a wooden bridge and was first mentioned in 1587. A stone bridge replaced the wooden one around 1649. It is a Category B listed building with Historic Scotland, being listed in 1971.
