A good example of a Victorian suspension bridge, for foot traffic only, of a kind which is found on other parts of the River Dee. It was cast in Aberdeen. There was originally a ferry here, hence the old ferry inn near the bridge. This building was, in turn, altered by having a corner chopped off to allow the railway through - hence its modern name of ‘Cutaway Cottage’.

There is car parking for visitors at the bridge and forest walks about a mile
to the west.
