Scope and Content Chain and hanger connection of St Devenick Bridge, Cults, Aberdeenshire St Devenick Bridge, a suspension footbridge across the River Dee, was built in 1837 by Dr George Morison, minister of Banchory-Devenick, so that people from the north part of his parish could come to church. It was designed by John Smith. The wrought-iron rods making up the two chains hung between the pylons are connected to each other, and to the hangers by iron link-pins and flat links. This system was first devised Samuel Brown. John Smith, architect (1781-1852), worked on Aberdeen's Wellington Bridge (completed 1831) with Samuel Brown, the pioneer of British suspension bridges.
