The Pollhollick bridge

... that brewer Alexander Gordon paid to build the Polhollick Bridge (pictured) in Aberdeenshire in 1892 after witnessing a drowning incident at the ferry crossing? "The location of Polhollick Bridge is of historic significance, as it was the point of an important ferry crossing. Erected in 1892 by James Abernethy & Sons of Aberdeen, it was a gift from Alexander Gordon, who had been brought up in the area and had earlier witnessed a drowning tragedy involving a newly married couple." from: "Ballater's popular Seven Bridges Walk to reopen following repairs to Polhollick Footbridge - Aberdeenshire Council".
