Details
The Shakin Brig (shaking bridge) is a pedestrian suspension bridge that crosses the River North Esk in the village of Edzell.
It can be reached off the High Street down a narrow lane called Gassie Brae.
The bridge was constructed around 1900. It is mainly constructed of wood with steel wires holding it in place. It gets its name from the obvious shaking sensation felt when a pedestrian crosses it.

A lovely riverside wander for doggies who don’t mind a shaky bridge or getting their paws wet.
Mooma says – “This is a lovely walk through Edzell and you can continue on through the Blue Door trail too. Some parts of the path can be a bit skinny and might not be suitable for all. Also can be quite slippy in wet weather, definitely need good walking shoes. The river itself can be fast flowing in places but there are shallow bits off to the sides that are good for a wee paddle.
PLEASE NOTE – its currently unadvisable to let dogs in the water there, signage is in place.”
