Details Site of canal bridge, depicted on the OS 1st and 2nd edition maps annotated as 'Old Canal Bridge'. It is shown as located southeast of Beidlieston farm and west of the railway line. The Aberdeenshire canal ran for 18 1/2 miles from Waterloo Quay to Port Elphinstone, Inverurie, between 1805 and 1854. In 1834 the canal was connected to Aberdeen harbour when a tidal lock was built. Previously goods from the harbour were transferred by road to the canal. When the canal was bought by the Great North of Scotland Railway much of the canal route was redeveloped for the railway lines.
