Full Description
A section of the Aberdeenshire Canal showing as a cropmark on aerial photography flown in 2018. This is a northward continuation of the section remaining as an earthwork (NJ81NW0059). The canal, which ran from Aberdeen to Inverurie, was completed in 1805, but was not a success. Much of the route was subsequently used for the railway. See also NJ81NW0060 and NJ72SE0131.
