Geocache Description:


A short multi placed close to The Auld Bridge of Brechin

The page co-ordinates take you to a small parking area to the south-east end of the bridge.

Brechin Bridge is one of the oldest stone bridges in Scotland. We could give you all the facts and figures about when it was built etc but we thought we would make you find it out yourselves by reading the plaque on the wall leading to the north west corner of the bridge.

As you cross the bridge from the parking stop and take note of the date etched into the concrete of the "passing place" in the middle

GF-A-1999

From the plaque:-

From records, a wooden bridge existed here from 122C

The original stone bridge was built by 1BH9

The North arch was rebuilt in17ED
