    This bridge, constructed in 1772 for the Earl of Fife, stands on a spectacular site, south of Banff, where the Deveron forces its way through a rocky gorge 27 ft wide. Although of modest span, the crown of its arch is 55 ft above river level. The bridge, with a large chamber in the west abutment and asymmetric form, has similarities to earlier military bridges. It now carries a local access road.

      Local legend has it that the room hidden within the spectacular Bridge of Alvah on Duff House estate was in fact a secret “love lair” used by the married Earl.
