Details Road bridge, still in use, probably built by John Smith of Aberdeen in 1827. Re-using the original facing, the north approach was widened during the early 20th century. The road bridge over Cowie Water is constructed from squared and coursed rubble with droved dressings and voussoirs, a band course and a semi-circular-coped parapet. It comprises three segmental arches with hoodmoulds with broad flanking pilasters, and V-cutwaters on bull-faced bases. Curved approaches incorporate a single, round-arched flood drain to the north and pyramid-coped terminating piers.
