Full Description

This bridge was noted in ARCH's Heritage Along the Kyle Line project in 2011. It was a bridge over the Strathpeffer Branch Line. The line opened in 1885, but closed fully in 1951. The track was no longer there, but the route was clearly visible in 2011. <1>

Note: The Heritage Along the Kyle Line project archive gave erroneous NGR's. The current location was deduced by following the old railway line, located on the OS map through the other sites, and using aerial photography. S Salem 17/10/2013
