Scope and Content Plans of deck structure 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. Each hanger ends in a clamp plate attaching it to a cross beam and a runner which together support the deck. Diagonal braces add extra rigidity. John Smith, architect (1781-1852), worked on Aberdeen's Wellington Bridge (completed 1831) with Samuel Brown, the pioneer of British suspension bridges. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
