Aberdeen - Seaton Park Brig o'Balgownie

A walk through Seaton Park down to Brig o'Balgownie is well worth the effort. This bridge, the oldest in Scotland, was built on the orders of Robert Bruce and was restored in 1607. From 1329 and for the next 500 years, it served as the Don's main crossing point. Lord Byron, who went to school in Aberdeen for a short time, referred affectionately to the single span bridge in the 10th chapter of his "Don Juan".
