Bridge of Muchalls is a hamlet in Aberdeenshire, Scotland in proximity to the North Sea.[1] The community is situated along the A90 dual carriageway approximately three miles north of Stonehaven. The Bridge of Muchalls lies somewhat south of Muchalls Castle. This small hamlet is known for its picturesque access to the rugged North Sea coastline at Muchalls Beach.[2] The Burn of Muchalls is an easterly flowing stream that flows through the Bridge of Muchalls before passing under the A90 roadway and thence discharging to the North Sea slightly to the north of Doonie Point. The ancient Causey Mounth trackway proceeds north from the now ruin Cowie Castle, past the Hill of Megray and passes over Kempstone Hill before crossing the Burn of Muchalls at the Bridge of Muchalls.[3] The Bridge of Muchalls is an entirely residential community.
