Bridge

This is one of the bridges that crosses a river that flows through the Ury Estate just outside Stonehaven. I would of liked to be down at river level but it was marked private so i just took this shot from a much higher bridge beside it.

Here is a little information about Ury House and estate -

The current incarnation of Ury House is a ruined large mansion built in the Elizabethan style in 1885 by Alexander Baird. It is situated about a mile north of Stonehaven, a town in Aberdeenshire (historic Kincardineshire) on the North-East coast of Scotland. Originally the estate belonged to the Frasers, then the Hays starting in 1413, but eventually property of the Earl Marischal; over the years Ury has been rebuilt three times. In early times the property was known as Urie. In the 17th century Ury was established as the North East Scotland headquarters of the Quaker organisation by David Barclay.

Today the house is derelict and the dangerous condition of the structure limits entry. In March 2007 the current owners of the estate, FM Developments lodged an amended planning application for a golf and leisure complex on the estate as the previous housing development was rejected in October 2006. There have been earlier proposals for its restoration, including a 2004 planning application, which was rejected by the local Community Council.
