Excerpt from Notes on the Early History of the Brig. of Balgowny, and Illustrative of the Position and Legal Aspect of the Fund Conveyed by Sir William Hay of Whytburgh and Newton, for Its Repair and Maintenance, Known as the Bridge of Don Fund: Compiled for the Information of Members of the Town Council of Aberdeen It is believed that the Bridge over the river Don, called the Brig of Balgowny or Pulgowny, was erected by direction, and at the expense of, a most potent Prince, Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, of blessed memory. It is certain that, since the year 1444, it has been under the care and manage ment of the Town Council of Aberdeen, who, for nearly two centuries, kept it in repair by means of funds provided by the liberality of the citizens. At length, in the early part of the seventeenth century, the Bridge was almost re-built at the cost of the community, aided by contributions raised in the town and neighbourhood by the efforts of the Council. It is equally certain that the Barons and Landowners in the County were deaf to all entreaties for aid, and refused assistance when the Bridge was in imminent danger of becoming a ruin. The Council Records contain frequent reference to the out lay occasioned by its maintenance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
