A beautiful bridge, easy to find on the riverside paths or just a short walk from Seaton park. It is interesting to find it is one of the oldest in Scotland, and if you look closely you can see the difference in building techniques between the older parts and restored ones.

This part of the beach seemed more shaded from the wind in the bay and people were swimming as there were less waves. There are lots of cool street vendors and truck along this section and some cafes and restaurants nearby too. There’s also free parking along the beach front and some public toilets.

From Aberdeen out, the Deeside way has been laid to tarmac and makes a good surface for a road bike, or taking children out for a cycle. It can be very popular so speeds will be lower on a bike than perhaps expected.
