Road bridge, no longer in use, which formerly carried the Aberdeen-Dundee public road (later the A94 trunk road) over the River North Esk. Also known as 'Upper North Water Bridge'. The bridge was built originally in the 16th century, at some time between 1520 and 1590. The Old Statistical Account (1791-99) attributes its construction to John Erskine of Dun. It was repaired in 1669 by David Erskine of Dun (descendant of John Erskine). It was again repaired in 1809 and widened over the triangular cutwaters in 1841 by John Gibb of Aberdeen, engineer. It is a three-span bridge, with ribbed segmental arches. Each span measures 50ft (15.24m). The five-arch ribs are of dressed stone, and the spandrels and wing walls are rubble. There is a much decayed heraldic panel on the West side, and the parapets have wrought-iron railings. There is a tollhouse on the southern bank (NO66NE0021). The river here forms the boundary between the parishes of Logie Pert (Angus) and Marykirk (Kincardineshire) (see NO66NE0152 in Aberdeenshire HER). A total of 946 masons' marks, of 22 different masons, have been recorded on the bridge by MAS in 2008-9.
