[edit] Name of bridge
See proposal to make St. Devenick's Bridge the main name for this article. I think it should stay as Shakkin' Briggie - this is used in all the published documents about the bridge, although in Aberdeen City Council papers it is officially referred to as Morison's Bridge e.g. see [1] and [2]. I would like to stay as Shakkin' Briggie, as I think this is the name the bridge is best known under. There are precedents elsewhere for using the official name (e.g. see Silver Jubilee Bridge, probably much better known as the Runcorn Widnes Bridge, but I don't think there's a hard-and-fast rule.) -- Kvetner 20:21, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- Its interesting the council refer to it as Morison's Bridge, and not St. Devenicks bridge and I had always thought. If published documents (such as in the references) are calling it Shakkin Briggie then it is best left at that. I will find out more about its name and clarify in the opening paragraph. I can't get a high enough resolution OS map from the OS website with a name on it and Google Earth didn't help either :( As the other names all redirect there anyway, it is only a minor matter anyhow.
- I found a couple of public domain pictures from geograph.org.uk and added them also. Bobbacon 20:52, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
