Footbridge to reopen

An iconic Cairngorm footbridge is to reopen tomorrow nearly three years after it was damaged in a winter storm.

The B-listed Polhollick Suspension Footbridge over the River Dee at Ballater was extensively damaged by Storm Frank. It is also part of the popular Seven Bridges walking route.

The bridge, built following a 19th Century drowning tragedy, was damaged by extremely high river levels and were struck by trees and other debris being swept downriver.
