What is recorded here

Allach Bridge still spans the river outside Aboyne, a stone arc built to carry people and memory across water. The castle that gave the bridge its name has vanished, leaving only the crossing and the story behind it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Aboyne Castle, Allach Bridge as Bridge (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Aboyne Castle, Allach Bridge, is associated with the historical Aboyne Castle in Aberdeenshire, which was held by the Comyn family in the 13th and 14th centuries and later by the Gordon family. It is remembered for its strategic importance in the north-east of Scotland and its role in medieval Scottish history.
