The Water of Feugh flows down from the hills south of the Aberdeenshire town of Banchory, joining the River Dee on the south edge of the town. Just before the confluence, a stone bridge carries the South Deeside Road over the water just north of the cascading Falls of Feugh.
The falls are primarily known for leaping salmon heading against the stream on their way to their spawning grounds upstream. This event is most common from September to November, and February to March.
A footbridge has been constructed adjacent to the Bridge of Feugh on the south side, and offers a perfect view southwards and beneath to the falls.
A free car park lies only yards to the east of the bridge which is accessible from the B974 road south from the town.
