Bridge of Dee over the river Dee in Scotland
Crossing the River Dee at what was once the City of Aberdeens southern boundary, the Bridge of Dee is a seven-arched bridge dating from 1520. Built following a bequest of £ 20, 000 by Bishop William Elphinstone who died in 1514, the bridge was completed by Bishop Gavin Dunbar. This was the site of a battle in 1639 between the Royalists under Viscount Aboyne and the Covenanters who were led by the Marquis of Montrose. Restored in 1718-21 and widened in the 19th Century, the bridge still features the original 16th-century piers, coats of arms and passing places. There are interesting riverside walks nearby.
