A row of charming late 18th century (restored mid 20th century) traditional stone cottages neatly line one side of the street of Cottown of Balgownie. These tiny cottages are absolutely adorable, although you would have to duck to get in the doors š. This stunning street takes you to the Brig o' Balgownie.

We lived in the street to the right of Cottown, it was where I spent my childhood, many times my friends and I would walk or bike along past the cottages and across the Brig o' Balgownie.
The Brig o" Balgownie is a 13th century bridge spanning the River Don in Old Aberdeen, Scotland. Construction of the granite and sandstone bridge started in the late 13th century, although its completion was not until 1320. After falling into disrepair in the mid 16th century it was extensively renovated in 1605.

It was nice to revisit the old neighbourhood where I grew up. A lot has changed, a lot has not, it stirred up a good few memories. š
