Yesterday, at the end of the working week I took a little walk to the Balintore Castle Gate Lodges to see how the rebuilding of the bridge there is progressing. Good progress has been made and you can see there is now a temporary navigable earthen bank, that will prevent pedestrians approaching from the east having to leap the chasm.
A friend has "corrected" me that what I have been calling a bridge is, in fact, a culvert. The Internet is ambiguous on the point, but many references say if the roadway is longer than 20 feet then it is a bridge; less than 20 feet and it is a culvert. I will be out with my tape measure, once the structure is rebuilt.
However, the point is moot in same way as the question "Is it a mountain or is it a hill?". If the nuances of language were less fuzzy, we would have far less fun.
With the opening now being a pipe it is assuredly more culverty than it was before. Relativism is more absolutely true than absolutism. :-)
