St. Devenick's Bridge
2021-04-09
The very first bridge of interest was Aberdeen's Shakkin' Briggie, which is also known as Morison's Bridge or St Devenick's. These weren't necessarily spectacular structures in any capacity; to be sure several were in differing states of decrepitude going from "senior resident" to "six feet under". Morrison's Bridge is situated preposterous Dee with a residential territory toward the north and looking towards a more provincial setting toward the south, which is presently dominatingly a fairway. Albeit the scaffold does not capacity anymore, it is the solitary extension structure in this section of the River Dee and the cast-iron columns and suspension cables on the north side are a distinctive and significant element saw from the street on the north side of the stream. The scaffold no longer spans the entire stream, yet this is not quickly clear as the abutments toward the south are situated on a naturally shaded island in the waterway, which, when seen from the north, blends in with the provincial landscape on the south side. The classical design with the cast iron Doric columns on the pylons is unusual and characteristic of Smith's certain use of the neo-classical style in his work.
