Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 20 reviews
This is a pleasurable small walk along the burn of Letterfourie to the 17th Century Craigmin folly bridge. Please, when parking, park beside the smiddy antiques and not in front on local houses. The bridge has high unprotected drops both in and around the bridge, please take care and look after children. Please be aware there is no fairy village on the walk anymore

we went to see the bridge and were delighted to find the route through the trees is now a fairy village and the doors to all the fairy houses can be seen n either side of the path, it really does make it a magical walk. The fairies don't mind if you make a noise and you may see some of them are sitting in the trees. As with all woodland walks comfortable shoes as best, especially as the route down from the bridge to the burn below is steep and slippy, but you will be missing out if you don't go down to view the bridge from below. The bridge is phenomenal and well worth the trip.

Having seen this bridge on Tv, we decided to visit it. Parking at Duff House, Banff, we followed the trail towards Alvah bridge. A scenic route, talking a leisurely 30-40 minutes until arriving at the bridge. An impressive bridge to say the least, over the Deveron river. A most enjoyable walk too. I'll let my photos do the talking.
5. The Double Bridge of Rumbling Bridge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 15 reviews
Built in 1713, this unique double bridge crosses a narrow gorge with the turbulent water below creating a constant rumbling sound hence the name Rumbling Bridge.

Hidden gorge walk proved to be excellent there were many opportunities for photos of the falls and we also spotted a red squirrel. Well worth the visit even just for the relatively short walk to Crook of Devon about 1.5 miles. Wellies may be needed if the weather has been wet.

This historic bridge has stood since the early 14th century and once served as an important line of communication between Aberdeen and other medieval coastal towns.
7. The Swilcan Bridge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 797 reviews
The famous Swilcan Bridge on the 18th hole of the Old Course at the Home of Golf. The bridge was originally built over 700 years ago so shepherds could move their flock across the Swilcan Burn which meanders through what is now the 1st and 18th fairways. Today the Swilcan Bridge, with the 'Auld Grey Toun' providing the most beautiful of backdrops, is one of the most iconic settings in golf. So much more than a little stone crossing, the Swilcan Bridge is the history of the game, it's the magic moments, it's felt the footsteps of the true greats.

A must visit and photo opportunity for golf lovers. Sunday is the only day to visit and take pictures at this golf history site unless you are lucky enough to plat the Old Course!
8. Forth Bridge

First taste of freedom to explore our wonderful country again. The Forth bridges are a testament to amazing engineering feats in both the modern and bygone ages, especially the Rail bridge (1890) which has been thrilling tourists for over 130 years now. Scotland can be an enigma, politically confusing, religiously toxic but above all always visually stunning. One of the greatest picture shows on mother earth.

Fab-u-lous! The stone from ST Mary’s church is the Same stone as it is for the bridge. The views and history are good and watching and feeding the birds are a treat. The river is the river Tyne too.
10. Forth Road Bridge

Reviewed By SteveWalsh29 - London, United Kingdom
Start at the 3 Bridges Viewpoint and Walk across the Old Road Bridge from the South Shore, it has amazing views of the new bridge on one side, and when you walk the other side on the way back of the amazing Rail Bridge. The way the bridge moves when a Bus goes past is not something I would recommend if you have vertigo.
