Crathie Suspension Bridge
in East Balmoral.
See Happy Pontist blog for information.
1885 'Two miles farther up is an old suspension bridge, in line with the road passing the manse of Crathie, and a short distance beyond is the fine, substantial iron bridge erected by the late Prince Consort to give access to Balmoral. The Crathie suspension bridge, it may be mentioned, was erected early in the century by a Dundee blacksmith named Justice, who also put up a similar structure over the Southesk, near the Kirkton of Clova. Only this year the Crathie bridge was almost entirely renewed by Messrs. Blaikie Brothers, at the expense of the Queen, who also ordered the construction of the Abergeldie bridge.[1]
It is one of five suspension bridges known to have been constructed by Justice and Co of Dundee. The other survivors are Kirkton of Glenisla Footbridge and Haugh of Drimmie Bridge.
