Finlathen aqueduct

This bridge was erected by the Dundee Water Company between 1846 and 1847 to carry a water pipeline from the Monikie reservoir across the Dighty valley to Dundee. An expensive undertaking but probably cheaper than tunnelling under the Dighty burn. The aqueduct was once covered with turf to prevent the water freezing in winter and to keep it cool in the summer. The bridge now serves as a foot and cycle path for Fintry residents. And it still carries two 10-inch water pipes. The blue plaque in the centre is a mosaic carrying the legend ‘Spirit of the Dighty’.
