Statement of Interest

Bridge reputed to have been built for a visit of Mary

Queen of Scots to Rothiemay Castle (now demolished and

replaced by modern house) in 1562. However, construction

and style of the bridge indicate a mid-18th century date,

probably during the ownership of Rothiemay by William

Duff, Lord Braco, between 1741 and 1763 and possible on

site of earlier bridge. Change of Category A to B 25.4.89.
