Canal bridge, of 19th century date. On the boundary between Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen City. (See also Aberdeenshire HER NJ81NW0132). Kinaldie Bridge is located south west of Kinaldie Farm and was built to take the Aberdeenshire Canal over the Black Burn. Today the bridge carries a minor road over the burn, from Kinaldie south to join the A96 to Blackburn. The arch of the bridge has a low elliptical shape, with the lowest parts running under the bed of the stream, and measures 17m-east west and 10m-north south. 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.
