Bridge, now carrying a public road over the Bucks Burn. Designed by John Rennie, it was originally constructed between 1798 and 1805 as a canal aqueduct, to carry the Aberdeenshire Canal (NJ81SE0535) over the burn. It was later adapted to be used as a road bridge, The surviving structure is 17.6 m long and stands 7.5 m high from the ground level on the burn side, and with an arch circa 5.5 m wide. Constructed primarily of light grey granite with a high stone arch of 21 voussoirs. On the western side is a cut-water. On the east side two large wing walls set at right angles to the former aqueduct support the banks of the burn, The eastern wall of the aqueduct retains its original wing shape, but the western wall has been replaced or built over by a later retaining wall. The canal was superseded by the railway in 1854.
