It has a tooled ashlar segmental arch ring springs from wide abutments, flanked and delineated by tooled ashlar pilasters terminating with segmental caps with radial tooling. There are cast-iron spearhead balustrades linked to ashlar coped abutments. The original total cost of bridge was £145. 2.8d. The approximate width is 18 feet with an approximate span of 45 foot, crossing the Burn of Cullen, which form the boundary between the Cullen and Rathven parishes.
