Summary edit
| Description |
English: River Dee at Cambus O'May Cambus OMay is derived from the Gaelic and means Bend in the Plain, the bend being the sweeping curve of the River Dee here. For many centuries there was a ford a short distance downstream but it fell into disuse when Dinnet Bridge was built some three miles east in 1862. A ferry boat plied from the sandy beach upstream until a footbridge was erected in 1905. That iron suspension bridge and a similar one at Polhollock near Ballater were gifted by Mr Alexander Gordon. He was a native of Glen Girnock who moved to London and prospered in the brewery trade. As a young boy he had witnessed a drowning accident in the Dee and vowed that one day he would build a bridge so that travellers could cross in safety.
In the 1980s the bridge was replaced by a new bridge of similar design. (Source: Notice at the nearby car park.) |
