Heritage listing
Category B Date Added 24/03/1988 Local Authority Moray Planning Authority Moray Burgh Lossiemouth NGR NJ 23697 70426 Coordinates 323697, 870426 — Circa 1810. Single span arched bridge with sluice gates at S side. Tooled squared rubble, tooled ashlar dressings. Segmental-headed segmental arch ring flanked on N (seaward side) by retaining walls of same height and materials and linked by continuous bandcourse and parapet. — Spynie Canal was the culmination of attempts to drain Loch Spynie (which survives as a small loch) and the low lying areas between Spynie Palace and Lossiemouth, the surplus water flowing through sluice gates at Lossiemouth. Thomas Telford was consulted in 1808 and the contractor for the work 1808-11 was a Mr Hughes, who had worked on the Caledonian Canal. The unprecedented floods of 1829 caused considerable damage and subsequently dykes were thrown up along the canal's banks.
