Scope and Content Drawing 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. Following Samuel Brown's suspension system, Smith designed the bridge with a pair of single chains made of wrought-iron rods joined by iron link-pins and flat links. The balustrade and decking were timber. John Smith, architect (1781-1852), worked on Aberdeen's Wellington Bridge (completed 1831) with Samuel Brown, the pioneer of British suspension bridges.
