The Brig o' Balgownie in Old Aberdeen is a popular walk amongst students, residents and tourists of Aberdeen due to its stunning views across the River Don. Seals can often be seen in the waters and sandy area. The Brig o' Balgownie can be found behind the Hillhead Aberdeen Universit Students Accommodation and can be reached by car though only pedestrians may cross it. It is popular with brides and grooms for wedding photos, particularly next to the Victorian lamppost.

My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

It is thought that the bridge known as the Brig o' Balgownie was built upon the instruction of the Bishop Henry Cheyne in the late 13th or early 14th century. Legend has it that Robert the Bruce completed the work. There were three rebuilds of the Brig o' Balgownie in the 17th century.
Lord Byron studied at Aberdeen University and fondly recalls the Brig o' Balgownie in his poem Don Juan.
The pool of water below the Brig o' Balgownie is called the Black Neuk.
Until the Bridge of Don was built in 1831 the Brig o' Balgownie was the main crossing across the River Don.
The Brig o' Balgownie is listed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."
