Description

Cowie Bridge, built in 1827, is a road bridge over Cowie Water, likely designed by John Smith of Aberdeen. The bridge features three segmental arches with hoodmoulds and V-cutwaters on bull-faced bases. It has curved approaches that include a single round-arched flood drain to the north, and pyramidally-coped terminating piers. The structure is made of squared and coursed rubble with droved dressings and voussoirs, and it includes a band course and a semicircular-coped parapet. Broad pilasters flank the arches of the main bridge.
