Description
A suspension footbridge from 1836-7 by the Aberdeen architect John Smith, with mirrored tall, rounded and tapered ashlar pylons to the north and south each supporting two cast iron Greek Doric columns with lintels holding the suspension cables. There are masonry abutments to the north and south banks, but as the river has widened, the abutments to the south are situated on an island mid-river. The iron suspension cables have some bar-link chains. The bridge decking was removed in 1984 and the bridge is no longer in use.
