Fraser's Bridge

Clunie Water is a river of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is a tributary of the River Dee, joining the river at Braemar, among grey stone buildings.[1] Callater Burn is a tributary of the Clunie; the confluence is at Auchallater. The river flows alongside the A93 road.[2]

Bridges and pathways

Further south of Auchallater in the Glen of Clunie is Fraser's Bridge, a 100 feet (30 m) long segmented arch bridge, measuring 15 ft 4 inches between its parapets.[3] A Grade B listed building, it was completed in around 1749. On a 1776 Taylor and Skinner Map it was labelled "East Bridge".[4]

In June 2010, a new 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) link path opened, leading from Highland Society Bridge over Clunie Water to the Glenshee Road.[5]

Fishing

During the fishing season, from March to September, permits are granted for fishing brown trout along the river.[6]
