Notes:
- Completed c. 1880. Douglas Harper writes: "The original bridge was built by Harper & Co, Aberdeen, around 1880 and its timber pylons were replaced with cast iron ones. In 1979 when overloaded during a raft race a bank stay cable failed and a major rebuild was undertaken by the local authority. This version was similar to its predecessor but was repalced in 2005 by a cable stayed bridge."
