More about this scene
Aberdeen is now Scotland's third largest city. Its charters date back to the 1100s, although St Machar is said to have founded a church here in AD 580. This single-arched stone bridge is situated a few hundred yards to the north of St Machar's Cathedral, and crosses a gorge of the River Don. It is one of the most ancient bridges in Britain, and was constructed around 1290. The salmon pool underneath is alluded to by Byron in his poem 'Don Juan'. In the early 1600s Sir Alexander Hay left a legacy for repairing the bridge.
