The White Bridge is a footbridge in Stonehaven, Scotland. It was constructed in 1879. It was built with a wooden floor which was replaced with concrete in 1892.[1] [2] The bridge is Category C listed.[3]

The bridge crosses the Carron Water and links Arbuthnott Street and Cameron Street.

In April 2019, the bridge was removed and placed into storage as part of flood prevention works in Stonehaven.[4] The bridge was subsequently refurbished with its paint removed and replaced. It is expected to reopen in 2023.[5]
