Bridge on Old Military Road over Delavine Burn is a stone bridge crossing the Delavine Burn in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The bridge forms part of the network of military roads constructed in the Scottish Highlands during the eighteenth century, particularly following the Jacobite risings, as part of the strategic infrastructure developed to facilitate troop movement and military control across the region. The structure exemplifies the practical engineering of the period, constructed in dressed or rubble stone to span the watercourse. Such bridges represent an important category of military-era monuments documenting the post-1745 pacification and infrastructure development of the Highlands.
