Braemar Castle is undergoing a £1.6M restoration programme as part of a local community initiative called “Raising the Standard”. Part of the project has involved reharling (re-rendering) the exterior of the Castle.text/html2023-08-21T13:40:51+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/14140Nigel Corby57.093051 -3.163090NJ2900 : The Gairnshiel Jubilee Bridge
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/7573355
Traffic began using the new road bridge over the River Gairn at Gairnshiel on 11 August 2023. The old steeply humped bridge which it replaced had been in use for around 270 years. The new bridge is named the Gairnshiel Jubilee Bridge to commemorate Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 - the year in which construction began and the two main beams of the bridge - each weighing 100 tonnes - were lifted into place. The design of the new bridge responded to three key considerations: the river flood levels, the low alignment of the highway and the desire to create a sculptural yet robust form, using locally sourced granite which responds to the natural formation of the glen, while complementing and not appearing too prominent alongside the 18th Century structure.text/html2023-08-21T13:39:13+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/14140Nigel Corby57.093056 -3.162595NJ2900 : The Gairnshiel Jubilee Bridge

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/7573352
This steeply humped bridge was constructed around 1753. It is an excellent example of a military road bridge, built on the military road from Blairgowrie to Fort George.
The bridge has been a memorable landmark for motorists crossing between Deeside to Donside. However in August 2023 it carried its final motor vehicle over the River Gairn. It has been replaced by a new bridge about 150 yards downstream. The 18th century bridge can, however, still be used by pedestrians.text/html2023-08-21T13:35:16+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/14140Nigel Corby57.092966 -3.162593NJ2900 : The Gairnshiel Jubilee Bridge
