Statement of Interest

The White Bridge, a frequently used and well liked pedestrian thoroughfare, links the west end of Arbuthnott Street in the Old Town with Cameron Street in Robert Barclay of Ury's New Town. Both streets retain early 19th century housing and are linked to the east at Bridgefield from where a favourite Stonehaven view of the White Bridge can be seen. This highly decorative late-Victorian footbridge replaced an earlier timber bridge, and itself had a plank floor until 1892, when it was replaced with concrete.
