Braemar Bridge

The bridge, a modified suspension bridge, is rooted in the family of Victorian footbridges that span the upper Dee, in particular the surviving white painted suspension bridges at Garbh Alt Sheil, Polhollick and Cambus O’May. The elegant V-shape of its pylons, at each end, define the geometry of its net of suspension cables – giving the impression of a valley and befitting of a piece of infrastructure crossing into wilderness. 

The bridge will fulfil a long-standing wish on the part of Braemar residents and visitors to the area to have a permanent fixed link between the north and south banks of The River Dee adjacent to the village.
