Scope and Content Plan of pylons 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 pylons, in the form of hollow cast iron columns and entablatures (the pieces bridging the columns) of Greek Doric Order, rest on granite piers. The timber decking and balustrades were removed in 1984. Greek Doric Order is one of the mathematically defined Classical styles revived in the 17th century and popular until the mid 20th century.
