The remains of Aberdeenshire Canal is a section of canal infrastructure located northwest of Brae of Kintore in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The canal was constructed in the late eighteenth century as part of schemes to improve inland water transport and facilitate commercial development in the region. The surviving remains consist of canal bed and earthwork features that are largely overgrown but retain their fundamental topographical form. This monument represents an important phase in Scotland's infrastructure history when canal building was undertaken to support agricultural and industrial expansion before the dominance of railway transport.
