About MeUnion Bridge was one of the great engineering feats of 19th century Aberdeen. It involved bridging the Denburn Valley and the cutting of granite with the relatively rudimentary stone working technologies of the period. As the illustration shows this included the use of picks which were responsible for producing the fine ashlar finish on the stone. All cutting, dressing and lifting of the granite was by hand. The building of this bridge opened the way for the city to move westward from its medieval confines.
