Bridge carrying the B9008 across Conglass Water. In 1794, the Duke of Gordon had a road built from Glenrinnes to Tomintoul, allowing carriages and other wheeled vehicles to travel the length of his estate. Bridges were built at several points along the route, including this one which spans the Conglass Water near Tomintoul. The bridge was badly damaged in the severe floods which swept the district in 1829, and was subsequently rebuilt using some of the original fabric. It is a single span rubble bridge, with a tooled segmental arch ring springing from tooled rubble abutments and there is buttressing to the winged approaches. There is a tooled rubble cope to the parapet. There are ornamental end columns or pilasters built into the masonry at each end. The pilasters are topped with tooled ashlar cushion-shaped capstones, a characteristic feature of the bridges built by the Gordon estate at this period. There are later cast-iron stays, and one cap has been replaced with a rendered copy. The approximate span of the bridge is 40 feet (12.2 metres).
