Milton of Rothiemay Bridge
A substantial five-span bridge arch carrying a minor road over the Deveron, comprising four 52 ft cast-iron framesegmental arch spans and a masonry flood relief span. It was designed by John Willet and built in 1874 towards the end of the cast-iron bridge era with ironwork supplied and erected by James Abernethy & Son, and is attractively embellished with neat iron railings.
In recent years the deck construction has been modified to relieve the arch loading whilst maintaining the external elevation of the bridge.
