Cambus O' May Suspension bridge

This historic bridge is just outside the village of Ballater and was seriously damaged during the floods earlier this month. Caravans and mobile homes came crashing down the river, hurtling against the bridge, coming from Ballater upstream. It will be a while before it is fixed.

You can see the bridge, before the floods, in the following link if you're interested. Uploaded for my odds and sods album. http://www.drookitagain.co.uk/coppermine/displayimage.php?pid=1193

It does not look very safe.

Oh my! Where is Ballater please?

Oh dear that is very sad. So much devastation from flooding this year my heart goes out to those effected.

[Leslie]

Wow

This is really sad, Issi. Hope it can be fixed soon.

So unfortunate! It does take a while to recover from such devastation. I did enjoy viewing the pics in your link.

A terrible shame. Good shot of the damage. I, too, enjoyed looking at the photos of the area. Braemar is a picturesque town.

@pennystot Hi Penny - Ballater and Braemar are small villages in the North East of Scotland, inland from Aberdeen. I was brought up in this area of Scotland. I see you are English, but living in Burgundy. I'm Scottish living in the Paris area! :-)

[Issi Bannerman]

@pennystot I have my moments! ;-) I'm off to Northern Ireland this weekend, to Portadown to visit hubby's mum and dad. Not such a photogenic spot, I'm afraid.Thanks for the follow. Following right back!
