thumb|left|300px|Blyth Bridge '''Blyth Bridge''' is a small hamlet in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, near to West Linton. The name stems from a bridge over the Tarth Water.
It is located in a bend on the A701 which goes from Moffat to Edinburgh, close to the junction with the East-West road the A72 which goes to Peebles.
Places nearby include the Lyne Water, Carlops, Romannobridge, and the Deepsyke Forest.
There is an aqueduct carrying a large water main which supplies Edinburgh and passes over Tarth Water.
There are a number of iron age forts on the hills nearby, and the historic Drochil Castle is a short distance away.
==Buildings==
Much of the building stock in the village is modern. Two structures of interest are:
*Blyth Bridge War Memorial, c.1920, an unusual conical form 500m south of the village, freestanding on the edge of a field *Scotston House, c.1755, an unusually slim Georgian villa laid out on an east-west axes, on higher ground 800m west of the village centre. This was built by Alexander Teller of Symington for his namesake son, and was sold in 1787 to Captain Aeneas Mackay of the East India Company. From around 1810 to 1905 it was owned by the Carmichaels of Skirling. Internal plasterwork was added by Alexander Morison of Edinburgh, 1757/8.<ref>Peeblesshire Vol.2, p.308, inventory of historic buildings, RCAHMS published by HMSO</ref>
