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, was repaired in 1809, and widened over the cutwaters in 1841 by John Gibb. 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. The river here forms the boundary between the parishes of Logie Pert (Angus) and Marykirk (Kincardineshire) (see NO66NE0025 in Angus HER). A total of 946 masons' marks, of 22 different masons, have been recorded on the bridge by MAS in 2008-9.
