Queenie Bridge is a toll-free bascule bridge in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Opened in 1954, it connects Bridge Street and Greenhill Road in the town's harbour area. It replaced a swing bridge which had stood on the site since 1850 and was built at a cost of £8,000.[1] [2] There has been a crossing at this point in the harbour since at least 1739.[3]
The bridge's name is a play on Quinzie (the Scots version of the French word coin, which signifies a corner),[4] [5] [6] the historic name of the area of town to the south of Port Henry, which was constructed in 1593. Quinzie was a causeway of boulders, covered only by spring tides, which linked the islands of Keith Inch and Greenhill to the mainland.[7]
