031 | About half a mile above the Nether Mill, the stream is again crossed by the Old Bridge, built, in 1697, by the Right Reverend Dr. [Doctor] James Drummond, Bishop of Brechin. This is a picturesque bridge of one arch; it has the arms of the Bishop and those of the Earl of Erroll on two tablets built into the south wall. In 1763, this bridge was widened about two feet by James Earl of Erroll. The additions do not rest on a regular foundation, but on rude corbels, near the spring of the arch. The bridge was formerly called "The Bishop's Bridge". Extracts from Dr. [Doctor] Pratt's history of Buchan page 41 & 42. This bridge is situated on the old Turnpike road between Aberdeen & Peterhead. |
