Road bridge, built in 1859, still in use, designed by J. F. Beattie to replace the old Bridge of Dee (NO19SE0009). Invercauld Bridge is a prominent and imposing bridge on the main road from Braemar to Ballater. It has three wide segmental arches with smaller arches at each end, rounded cutwaters, oculi in the spandrels between the main spans, and simple coped parapets. Constructed of coursed grey granite. The money for this bridge was provided by Prince Albert in 1859. The Royal Family had bought the nearby Balmoral Estate in 1852, but were becoming increasingly concerned about their privacy around the Castle as the Old South Deeside Road from Ballater to Braemar ran through the estate.
