Details Private road bridge, at one time the main approach to the Mar Lodge estate (NO08NE0045). It is a three-span girder bridge, constructed of decorative cast iron lattice work, on battered round-ended piers of bull-faced granite. It has convex approach walls, and a decorative iron horse-shoe arch at the south end. The arch bears the inscription: 'Edward VII, 1905' and 'Queen Victoria, 1848'. The present bridge replaced a timber and stone bridge destroyed in the Muckle Spate of 1829, and some of the cast iron super structure, notably the decorative balustrade, may date from the previous bridge. Also known as The White Bridge. Photographic recording of the bridge was carried out in 2021.
