Site Management (22 May 2014)

Gabled, H-plan (E end infilled with later M-gabled range) steading, comprising slated rubble with some Aberdeen bond stonework, ashlar-coped skews and boarded timber doors.

The Aberdeen to Inverurie Canal was opened in 1807, it closed in 1852 after being sold to the Great North of Scotland Railway Company. Bridgealehouse operated as an ale house beside the canal and later for the nearby Kintore railway station (Aberdeen to Huntly line) which opened in 1854. The house was probably also a posting station on the Great Northern Road, with three stage-coaches passing through Kintore twice daily, this would certainly have called for the ample stabling provided by this good-sized steading. The name 'Bridgealehouse' had been altered to 'Bridgend' some time before the Third Statistical Account, but lives on in the nearby 'Bridgealehouse Burn'
